In this article we will discuss about the molecular structure of centromere. Eukaryotic chromosomes possess a segregational device called centromere which is responsible for the chromosomc movement during cell division. Chromosome fragments without a centromere (acentric fragments) are unable to move to any of the poles during cell division; as a result, they are excluded […]

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Coiled DNA Model 2. Nucleosome-Solenoid Model of Chromatin Fibres. Coiled DNA Model: This model of chromatin structure was proposed by DuPraw in 1965. As per this model, DNA molecule is associated with three classes of proteins: (i) Lysine rich histories: They are common to both A and […]
