Explanation:
Chromosomal DNA is packaged inside microscopic nuclei with the help of histones. These are positively-charged proteins that strongly adhere to negatively-charged DNA and form complexes called nucleosomes. Each nuclesome is composed of DNA wound 1.65 times around eight histone proteins.
1. all elements are made of small particles called atoms
2. atoms of one element are identical in their properties, different atoms from different elements differ in properties
3. chemical reactions consist of atoms rearranging in whole number ratios
4. atoms can not be subdivided, created, or destroyed
Answer:
Option B - 2
Explanation:
In Crystal lattices, there are different types of unit cells namely;
- Hexagonal Closest Packed (HCP)
- Face Centred Cubic (FCC)
- Body Centred Cubic (BCC)
- Simple Centred Cubic (SC)
Now, each of them have a coordination number and also number of atoms per unit cell.
For this question, we are restricted to the body-centered cubic (bcc) unit cell which has a coordination number of 8 and contains 2 atoms per unit cell.
