Question

A student extracted 10,000 nucleosomes from a cell .Find the length of this DNA segment?

Answer 1

The nucleosome core particle consists of about 146 bp of DNA wrapped around the histone octamer and joined with a adjacent nucleosome by a stretch of free DNA termed as linker DNA which varies from 10 - 80 bp in length depending on species and tissue type.
According to the question student have extracted 10,000 nucleosomes from a cell, so DNA is 14,61,460 bp long.
