Solution
The correct option is
C
Linker DNA
Histones are positively charged basic proteins. DNA packaging starts with nucleosomes; each of which is made of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer.
DNA packaging is carried out by wrapping the 166 bp of DNA around the core of the nucleosome.
The H1 histone protein associates with each nucleosome to maintain the chromosome structure.
DNA connecting two adjacent nucleosomes is called linker DNA, which was discovered by Olins and Olins.
Option C is the correct answer.
