Question: The nucleosome-solenoid model of chromatin structure was proposed by which of the following?
Options:
DuPraw
Komberg and Thomas
Whitehouse and Holliday
Darlington
✅Explanation:
-The nucleosome-solenoid model of chromatin structure was proposed by Roger Kornberg and John Thomas in 1974. This model suggests that chromatin is organized into a series of nucleosomes, which are bead-like structures made up of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins. The nucleosomes are then further organized into a solenoid structure, which is a spiral-shaped fiber.

12Other options explanations:
-DuPraw: Proposed the folded-fiber model of chromosome structure.
-Whitehouse and Holliday: Proposed the "two-start" model of the 30 nm chromatin fiber.
-Darlington: Developed the pachytene pairing hypothesis of chromosome synapsis.
