Answer: c
Explanation: The “tail” of the histone is not required for the association for the DNA with the
histone octamer into a nucleosome. This is proved when the nucleosome is treated with the
protease, trypsin. Trypsin is known to cleave proteins after positively charged amino acid thus,
when the N – terminal tail is removed no structural variation is observable in the nucleosome.
