Chromatin is best described as

  • A.the protein scaffold with no DNA attached to it
  • B.the RNA that is transcribed from a chromosome
  • C.DNA together with its associated proteins
  • D.DNA alone in its familiar double-helical form

Answer: C

Histones make up the bulk of the protein, and the combination is what actually exists in a living nucleus. Naked DNA of the kind drawn in diagrams is not found there. Every process acting on DNA must therefore contend with the packaging first.
