<span>The essential unit of DNA packaging is the nucleosome. A nucleosome consists of a small amount of DNA wrapped up with protein. The proteins that interact with DNA to form chromatin comprise a family of basic (positively charged) proteins called histones. There are five different types of histone protein: H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Of these, two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 combine to form a histone octamer. DNA wraps around the octamer, making 1 3/4 turns around the protein complex. The amount of DNA associated with the histone octamer is 146 bp. The octamer plus the DNA comprise what is called the nucleosome core. A small stretch of DNA (60 bp) runs between adjacent nucleosome cores, and is known as the linker. A single nucleosome consists of one core plus a linker. The total amount of DNA involved in a single nucleosome is approximately 206 bp. Chromatin therefore consists of DNA wrapped around one histone octamer after another, like a long string of beads.</span>

Which of the following is true of conifers
irinina [24]

It is true that the gametophytes grow directly from the sporophyte

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Conifers are distinct by the presence of evergreen needle shaped leaves and seeds that are generally attached to the cone. The conifers are generally pines which grow into tall trees and bonsai varieties are the smallest. They do not produce seeds in the fruits like other trees rather store it in a thick woody cone where it can be protected during forest fires.

In conifers the process from pollination to fertilization takes about a year. The plant in which the gametophyte grows is called as the sporophyte. This sporophyte is where the male and female gametes fuse together to form the first cells the zygote. Then this zygote develops into a seed. This seed is then disbursed through wind and end up forming a new baby plant called the sporophyte.
