DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Protein molecules around which DNA is tightly coiled in chromatin
A
Histones
B
Whey
C
Casein
D
Hemoglobin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each chromosome is constructed from DNA that has been tightly wound around proteins called histones numerous times to support its structure. Histone proteins are tightly coiled up inside the DNA as chromatin fibers, which further compact to create chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The correct answer is histones. DNA wraps around histones to form the nucleosomes. Further condensation of many nucleosomes results in chromatin (DNA state).

Detailed explanation-3: -In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromosomes are bundles of tightly coiled DNA located within the nucleus of almost every cell in our body. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Histones are a family of basic proteins that associate with DNA in the nucleus and help condense it into chromatin. Nuclear DNA does not appear in free linear strands; it is highly condensed and wrapped around histones in order to fit inside of the nucleus and take part in the formation of chromosomes.
