Gnesinka [82]2 years ago
4 0

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "20 H1, 40 H2A".

Explanation:

Chromatin is a complex that protects and condenses the genetic material comprised of DNA and proteins. When chromatin is in the form of a 30 nm fibril, nucleosomes have a regular positioning along the DNA. This means that each nucleosome is associated with a single H1 molecule. Therefore a chromatin containing 20 nucleosomes will have 20 copies of H1 and 40 copies of H2A, because each nucleosome has 2 copies of the core histone H2A.
