Zoology - Molecular Basis of Inheritance Question with Solution | TestHub

In a human cell, the length of DNA molecule is about$2.2\mathrm{ meter}$, in which about$6.6\times {10}^9$base pairs are present. This DNA is present along with histone protein in the form of 'Beads on string', which is called as a nucleosome. Each nucleosome carries 200 base pairs. So number of nucleosomes$=6.6\times {10}^9/200=3.3\times {10}^7$.
