Which of the following statements concerning chromatin structure is false? a. Histones have a positive charge. b. Negative supercoiling can enhance activities like replication and transcription. c. Nucleosomes are found only in mitotic chromosomes. d. Epigenetic inheritance is a form of inheritance where a cell passes down modification of chromatin structure form parent to daughter cells. e.
