Mel122 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) If I'm asked to calculate the number of nucleosomes for an organism with a certain number of base pairs, I can easily calculate by dividing this value with the DNA base pairs per nucleosome. However, do I need to consider the linker DNA too? If I take the base pairs in just the nucleosome, I'd have 146 bp. But if I consider the linker DNA as well, I'll have a little over 200. My textbook says to consider 200 instead of 146. Can someone explain why that is so? Edited August 10 by Mel122 Typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
