Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic cells, which structure contains DNA complexed with proteins (histones) to form chromatin?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Lysosomes
C
Ribosomes
D
Chromosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that in eukaryotic cells, DNA is not free-floating but is organized and packaged to fit inside the nucleus.
Recall that DNA associates with proteins called histones to form a complex known as chromatin.
Recognize that chromatin further condenses during cell division to form structures called chromosomes.
Identify that the question asks for the structure containing DNA complexed with histones, which is chromatin within chromosomes.
Eliminate other options (Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, ribosomes) as they do not contain DNA; thus, chromosomes are the correct answer.
