Question

Number of histone proteins in each nucleosome core is

• A. $8$
• B. $10$
• C. $12$
• D. $14$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8$

A nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging. It consists of a segment of DNA wound around a core (“octamer”) of 8 histone proteins (two each of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4).

So the correct option is '8'
