By Weight,chromatin Consists Roughly Of

Question

By weight,chromatin consists roughly of
A) 1/3 DNA,1/3 histones,and 1/3 nonhistones.
B) 1/3 DNA and 2/3 acidic proteins.
C) 1/3 DNA,1/3 histones,and 1/3 basic proteins.
D) DNA,RNA,histones,and 1/4 nonhistones.
E) ¼ DNA and ¾ histones.

Accepted Answer

Chromatin is composed of approximately one-third DNA, one-third histones (which are basic proteins), and one-third nonhistone proteins. This composition reflects the structural and functional components necessary for packaging the DNA into a compact form and regulating gene expression.
