Q. Consider the following statements. (A) Non-histone chromosomal proteins are abundantly found in prokaryotes. (B) Non-histone chromosomal proteins do not play significant role in the packaging of DNA. Select the correct option
A) A is true, B is false
B) Both A and B are false
C) A is false, B is true
D) Both A and B are true
Explanation
Non-histone chromosomal (NHC) proteins help in the packaging of DNA at higher levels and thus they are found in eukaryotes since, DNA is not highly condensed in prokaryotes, NHC proteins are mostly absent in them.
