Eukaryotes- DNA is located inside the _______________. The DNA molecules wrap around proteins, which forms something called a ___________________. Then, they coil together even more to form strands of ____________________. nucleus > histone > nucleosome?

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

nucleus

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

thts the first one

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

histones i think is the second one

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

i sowie i dont know the last one

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

it's ok, thanks for your help!

OpenStudy (bakonloverk):

ur welcome

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

johana, y u stahp replieign? :ccccccc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on im reading the book to give to you the answer

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

:3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The nucleosome core particle consists of approximately 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped in 1.67 left-handed superhelical turns around a histone octamer consisting of 2 copies each of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4.Core particles are connected by stretches of "linker DNA", which can be up to about 80 bp long. Technically, a nucleosome is defined as the core particle plus one of these linker regions; however the word is often synonymous with the core particle. Genome-wide nucleosome positioning maps are now available for many model organisms including mouse liver and brain.

♥ O.O ♥

OpenStudy (anonymous):

read that and you will get your answer promise :)

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

So it would be nucleus > histone > nucleosome?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the last one, wouldn't it be chromosomes? That's my guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ugh, I mean the second one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so nucleus > chromosomes > nucleosome?

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

I guess so :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it can't be histones (that's the type of protein or something)

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

his·tone/ˈhiˌstōn/ Noun: Any of a group of basic proteins found in chromatin. So proteins--histones--can't be the thing that occurs when DNA wraps around proteins

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

:O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perhaps the last one is chromatin?
