Of the proteins associated with chromatin, which of the following represents the largest component?
A
Histones
B
RNA polymerases
C
Non-histone proteins
D
Transcription factors
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that chromatin is composed of DNA and proteins, which together package and regulate the DNA within the nucleus.
Recall that the main protein components of chromatin are histones and non-histone proteins, each playing different roles in DNA packaging and regulation.
Recognize that histones are the core proteins around which DNA winds to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin structure.
Note that RNA polymerases and transcription factors are involved in gene expression but are not major structural components of chromatin.
Conclude that among the options, histones represent the largest protein component associated with chromatin because they form the structural scaffold for DNA packaging.
