Answer:
1.7 x 107 nucleosomes.
Explanation:
The number of nucleosomes can be calculated by the following formula:
Nucleosomes = Genome size/ total number of base pairs.
Here, the genome size is 3.4×109.
Total number of base pair = number of base pairs in nucleosome core particle + linker DNA.
Total number of base pair = 146 + 50 = 196.
Number of nucleosome = 3.4×109 / 196.
Number of nucleosome = 1.7 x 107 nucleosomes.
Thus, the answer is 1.7 x 107 nucleosomes.
