Question

The classic "beads-on-a-string" structure is the most de-condensed chromatin structure possible and is produced experimentally. Which chromatin components are NOT retained when this structure is generated?

a. histone H1
b. histone H2A
c. histone H2B
d. histone H3
e. histone H4

Answer 1

Histone H1 is not retained in the classic "beads-on-a-string" structure, while the other four histones are retained.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the classic "beads-on-a-string" structure is generated, histone H1 is not retained. The other four chromatin components, histone H2A, histone H2B, histone H3, and histone H4, are retained.
