12th Science Biology Questions Answers
What would happen if histones were to be mutated and made rich in amino acids aspartic acid and glutamic acid in place of basic amino acids such as lysine and arginine?

The packaging of DNA around the nucleosome would not happen. Consequently, the chromatin fibre would not be formed.
