A structure of protein and looped DNA in a repeated pattern is known as nucleosomes.

<h3>What are nucleosomes? </h3>

Nucleosomes are a structure of DNA looped around histone proteins. This connection is histone and proteins makes sure of the compact nature of DNA in all eukaryotic cells.

Histone proteins are basic positively charged proteins. These histone proteins prevent DNA damage and also aid in DNA replication.

Eight positively charged histone protein molecules at the centre of the looped DNA are called histone octamers. Two copies of the four core histone proteins i.e H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 are present in a histone octamer. Negatively charged DNA readily surrounds the positively charged histone proteins to form the nucleosome.

Therefore, the structure of proteins and looped DNA in a repeated pattern is known as nucleosomes.

Hare: primary consumer
Wolf: Secondary Consumer
the hare is eating the plants which are producers and is a herbivore but since it still has natural predators it can only be a primary consumer. The wolf on the other hand has no nature predators besides maybe humans so in this ecosystem it is at the top of the web.
