Which statement regarding DNA packing in eukaryotes is false? A Tight DNA packing tends to promote gene expression
B) Euchromatin can be highly expressed
с
none of the answers are false
D
A nucleosome consists of DNA wound around a core of 8 histone
molecules.
E Highly compacted chromatin is generally not expressed at all.

The correct answer is - A. Tight DNA packing tends to promote gene expression.

Explanation:

Euchromatin which is less packed or condensed is highly expressed as it participates in the transcription whereas highly compacted chromatin - heterochromatin not expressed at all as these does undergoes the transcription process.

DNA binds around a core of 8 subunits of Histone protein in a nucleosome in which DNA is negatively charged and histone protein is positively charged protein .

DNA packing decreases its transcription and hence no expression.
