Eukaryotic DNA is packed in a chromatin structure, making it harder than prokaryotic DNA to be transcribed. Which proteins are directly involved in the structure of eukaryotic DNA?

Question

a
histones
b
collagens
c
polymerases
d
Actins

Answer 1

The proteins directly involved in the structure of eukaryotic DNA are:

a) histones

Histones are the proteins around which DNA wraps to form nucleosomes, which are the basic unit of chromatin. This packaging is crucial for the organization and regulation of DNA in eukaryotic cells.
