Abstract
- The article focuses on The intricate organization of DNA in eukaryotes involves complex packaging, with the long DNA strands, containing billions of base pairs, compacted through a series of levels. This compaction is achieved by the folding and attachment of DNA with histone proteins, forming nucleosomes, solenoids, and ultimately condensed chromosomes, ensuring efficient storage of genetic material within the nucleus and facilitating processes such as cell division.
