In the chromosomes, DNA is associated with histone and non-histone proteins. This was reported in 1974 by -----------------.

Options

  1. AF.H.C. Crick
  2. BF. Miescher
  3. CF. Griffith
  4. DR. Kornberg

Correct answer

D. R. Kornberg

Step-by-step solution

In 1974, R. Kornberg reported that in chromosomes, DNA is associated with histone and non-histone proteins to form the basic structural unit of chromatin, which is known as the nucleosome. F.H.C. Crick co-discovered the double helix structure of DNA in 1953. F. Miescher discovered nucleic acids (nuclein) in 1869. F. Griffith discovered the transforming principle in 1928. Answer: R. Kornberg
