Question

Explanation:

• Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins, not just the stabilizing proteins.
• Nucleosomes are the basic unit of chromatin structure (DNA wrapped around histone proteins).
• Histones are small basic proteins that DNA wraps around to form nucleosomes, thus stabilizing DNA.
• Nucleolus is a structure in the nucleus involved in ribosome synthesis, not DNA stabilization.

Answer:
