Why is the structure of a nucleosome so important?

Biology
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In eukaryotes, nucleosomes play major roles in chromatin organization and gene expression  

Explanation:

In eukaryotic organisms, chromosomal DNA is packaged with the help of proteins called 'histones' to form chromatin. The nucleosomes represent the basic packing units of the chromatin. Each nucleosome is composed of a histone octamer containing each two histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 wrapped around by 147 bp of DNA. Nucleosomes act as scaffolds to form higher-order chromatin structures (i.e., 30-nm chromatin fibers and condensed chromosomes). Moreover, nucleosome histone proteins can be chemically modified at defined amino acid residues, and thus nucleosomes also provide an epigenetic layer of information that can promote or inhibit gene expression.

It allows the cells to move

Explanation:

A flagellum is a whip-like structure that allows a cell to move. They are found in all three domains of the living world: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota, also known as protists, plants, animals, and fungi. While all three types of flagella are used for locomotion, they are structurally very different.
