Match List I with List II:

List I
A. Histones
B. Nucleosome
C. Euchromatin
D. Heterochromatin

List II
I. Loosely packed chromatin
II. Densely packed chromatin
III. Positively charged basic proteins
IV. DNA wrapped around histone octamer

Accepted Answer

- Histones are a set of positively charged, basic proteins (rich in lysine and arginine) .
- A Nucleosome is formed when the negatively charged DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer .
- Euchromatin refers to regions of chromatin that are loosely packed (and stain light) .
- Heterochromatin refers to chromatin that is densely packed (and stains dark) .
