Q. No. 5. An explorer discovers a strange new species of plant and sends some of the plant tissue to a geneticists to study. The geneticist isolates chromatin from the plant and examines it with an electron microscope. She observes what appeared to be beads on a string. She then adds a small amount of nuclease, which cleaves the string into individual beads that each contain 280 base pair of DNA. After digestion with more nuclease, a 120 base pair fragment of DNA remains attached to a core of histone proteins. Analysis of the histone core reveals histones in the following proportions. H1 12.5% H2A 25% H2B 25% H3 0% H4 25% H7 (a new histone) 12.5% On the basis of these observations what conclusions could the geneticists make about the probable structure of the nucleosome in the chromatin of this plant?
