Solution
The correct option is A DNA
The DNA in genes is organized as nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are fundamental organizational units of chromatin which appear as “beads-on-a-string” arrangement. Here, beads represent complexes of histones and DNA. The bead plus linker DNA leads to the next bead and form the nucleosomes. Each bead contains eight histone molecules: two copies each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Each bead of nucleosome has 200 bp of DNA which is wound 1.65 times around histone octamer. So, the correct answer is option A.
