  1. Genes are packed into a bacterial chromosome by
    1. histones
    2. basic proteins
    3. acidic proteins
    4. actin
Correct Option: B

In bacteria the chromosome or nucleoid is a naked double stranded DNA. The bacterial DNA is folded with the help of RNAs forming a super coiled circular complex. The coiling is stabilized with the help of non-histonic polyamines and a number of positively charged ions. Eukaryotic DNA is associated with histone proteins that are helpful in its coiling to form chromatin fibres.
