The function of nucleosomes is to

A) prevent DNA strands from tangling.
B) help DNA replicate.
C) make RNA synthesis possible.
D) prevent RNA from tangling with DNA during transcription.
E) prevent histones from tangling.

Nucleosomes

Structures consisting of a segment of DNA wound around a core of histone proteins, playing a crucial role in the packaging of eukaryotic DNA.

DNA Strands

The two long chains of nucleotides that twist around each other to form a double helix structure, which is the physical basis of DNA.

RNA Synthesis

The process of transcribing RNA molecules from DNA templates by RNA polymerase, a crucial step in gene expression.
