The core histones of the nucleosome are H3, H2A, H2B, and H4.

Explanation for each option:

  • H1: Incorrect. Histone H1 is not a core histone; it is a linker histone that helps in the compaction of nucleosomes into higher-order structures.
  • H3: Correct. Histone H3 is one of the core histones that form the nucleosome.
  • H2A: Correct. Histone H2A is one of the core histones that form the nucleosome.
  • H2B: Correct. Histone H2B is one of the core histones that form the nucleosome.
  • H4: Correct. Histone H4 is one of the core histones that form the nucleosome.

Summary: The core histones of the nucleosome are H3, H2A, H2B, and H4.
