| Text | Eukaryotic traits: -multiple linear DNA with histone proteins Organization of DNA: -DNA is complexed with eight histone proteins (an octamer) to form a nucleosome -nucleosomes are linked by H1 histone to form a string of chromatosomes -coil to form a solenoid structure which is condensed to form a 30 nm fibre -these fibres then form loops, which are compressed and folded around a protein scaffold to form chromatin -chromatin will then supercoil during cell division to form chromosomes |
