How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Histones are a family of small, positively charged proteins termed H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 (Van Holde ...

The stages outlined in the following example show a cell with a diploid chromosome number of four (two sets of two chromosomes) undergoing cell division. The replicated chromosomes are not visible ...
