Nucleosomes
Structural units of a chromosome, consisting of a segment of DNA wound around a core of histone proteins.
Histone Proteins
Proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes.
Eukaryotic DNA
The genetic material contained within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, characterized by its linear chromosomes.
