The combination of DNA and protein is called nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are made up of DNA wrapped around histone proteins.
The combination of DNA and protein is called nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are the basic structural units of chromosomes in eukaryotes. They are formed when DNA wraps around proteins called histones. Each nucleosome consists of a core particle made up of eight histone proteins, around which the DNA is coiled. These nucleosomes then combine further to form chromatin, which is the condensed and organized form of DNA in the cell nucleus. Chromosomes, on the other hand, are the structures made up of condensed chromatin that carry genetic information in the form of genes.
The combination of DNA and protein is called nucleosomes. In eukaryotes, the DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes. Multiple nucleosomes are then further coiled, condensed, and packaged to form the structure known as chromosomes.
