What is the complex of DNA and histone proteins in eukaryotes called?
A
Plasmid
B
Nucleolus
C
Chromatin
D
Ribosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that DNA in eukaryotic cells is not free-floating but is organized and packaged to fit inside the nucleus.
Recall that histone proteins are positively charged proteins around which DNA wraps to form a structural unit.
Recognize that the combination of DNA and histone proteins forms a complex that helps in DNA packaging and regulation.
Identify the term used to describe this DNA-protein complex, which is essential for chromosome structure and gene regulation.
Conclude that this complex is called 'Chromatin', distinguishing it from other cellular components like plasmids, nucleolus, or ribosomes.
