Question
genes, chromosomes, and dna quick check
eukaryotic chromosomes tend to be much larger than prokaryotic chromosomes. in order to package these large chromosomes into the nucleus, which family of proteins are used by the cell? (1 point)
o histones
o transcription factors
o rna polymerases
o dna polymerases
Histones are proteins that help package DNA into a compact form within the nucleus. Transcription factors regulate gene expression, RNA polymerases synthesize RNA from DNA templates, and DNA polymerases are involved in DNA replication. Since the question is about packaging large chromosomes (which contain DNA) into the nucleus, histones are the relevant proteins.
