Hello students, in this question we need to select an option that best describes the feature of histones.
00:10
Histones are small basic proteins that are involved in packing of dna into compact structure called as chromatin.
00:18
The basic unit of chromatin is nucleosome.
00:21
Nucleosome consists of a core particle which is known as histone optomer.
00:28
This is the histone optomer and it, this histone optomer consists of two copies of each histone proteins that is h2a, h2b, h3 and h4.
00:41
As you can see here this is h3, it is present in two copies, this is h4, it is also present in two copies, h2a in two copies and h2b in two copies.
00:53
All these eight, all these duplicate copies of histone proteins make histone optomer and there is one h1 protein which is present outside the octomer which helps stabilizes the nucleosome and each nucleosome can accommodate 147 base pairs and dna turns 1 .7 times around the nucleosome.
01:21
Therefore, for every two h4 histone proteins there is only one h1 histone protein...
