Solution

failed
failed

The answer is as follows:

  1. Chromatin: DNA and the proteins around which it is arranged
  2. Histone: protein around which DNA is wrapped
  3. Peptidyl transferase: an RNA enzyme that catalyzes bond formation during translation
  4. Topoisomerase: an enzyme that helps prevent overwinding of the DNA during DNA replication

Explanation:

  • Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins (including histones) that forms chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
  • Histones are proteins that act as spools around which DNA winds, playing a role in gene regulation.
  • Peptidyl transferase is an enzymatic function of the ribosome's RNA component that forms peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis.
  • Topoisomerase is an enzyme that alleviates the torsional strain generated ahead of the replication fork by transiently breaking and rejoining DNA strands.
