A 'beads on a string' like chromatin with 200 beads or nucleosomes contains
Dear Student,
Chromatin with 200 nucleosomes will contain 29,200 bp of DNA. A nucleosome core consists of approximately 146 bp of DNA. When we multiply this with the number of nucleosomes we will get the number of base pairs of DNA.
No. of bp of DNA= 146 * No. of nucleosomes
= 146* 200
= 29,200 bp
Therefore the number of base pairs in the above chromatin is 29,200 bp.
Regards
