How many nucleosomes are found in helical coil of 30 nm chromatin fibre ____?

Correct answer: C. 06

  • A. 10
  • B. 12
  • C. 06
  • D. 09

Explanation

In the traditional solenoid model of the 30 nm chromatin fibre, six nucleosomes are arranged in one helical turn. Therefore the expected number is 6 nucleosomes, written as 06 in option c. Students may choose 10 or 12 by confusing the 30 nm fibre with another level of chromatin packing or with a different model.
