Question:
Histones are enriched with:
Histones are enriched with:
Show Hint
Histones = Positive charge = Lysine \& Arginine.
Updated On: May 4, 2025
- Leucine \& Lysine
- Phenylalanine \& Leucine
- Phenylalanine \& Arginine
- Lysine \& Arginine
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Histones are proteins that package DNA into nucleosomes. They are positively charged due to a high content of basic amino acids, primarily lysine and arginine. This positive charge allows them to interact strongly with the negatively charged DNA.

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :
