Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the structures in the image
  • Structure A consists of a cluster of spherical objects.
  • Structure B is a long, coiled strand.
Step 2: Understand the role of histones
  • Histones are proteins that help package DNA into structural units called nucleosomes.
  • They are typically represented as clusters of proteins around which DNA is wrapped.
Step 3: Match the structures to histones
  • Structure A, which shows clusters of spherical objects, matches the description of histones.
  • Structure B, which is a long, coiled strand, represents DNA.

Final Answer

  • a. Structure A
