What is the correct order of DNA compaction in eukaryotic cells?
A
Chromatin fiber, nucleosome, chromosome
B
Chromosome, nucleosome, chromatin fiber
C
Nucleosome, chromatin fiber, chromosome
D
Nucleosome, chromosome, chromatin fiber
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that DNA compaction in eukaryotic cells involves organizing DNA into increasingly compact structures to fit within the nucleus.
Recognize that the first level of DNA compaction is the formation of nucleosomes, where DNA is wrapped around histone proteins.
Identify that nucleosomes further coil to form a more compact structure known as the chromatin fiber.
Acknowledge that chromatin fibers are further folded and organized into higher-order structures to form chromosomes, especially visible during cell division.
Conclude that the correct order of DNA compaction is: Nucleosome, chromatin fiber, chromosome.
