| nucleosome |
Spherical sub-units of eukaryotic chromatin that are composed of a core particle consisting of an octamer of histones (two molecules each of histones H 2a , H 2b , H 3 and H 4 ) and 146 nucleotide pairs.

| nucleosome |
The fundamental structural unit of eukaryotic chromosomes. It consists of pairs of each of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4), thereby creating the histone octamer, and a single molecule of the linker histone H1. The nucleosome spans 180 base pairs of DNA. During apoptotic cell death, cleavage of nuclear DNA typically occurs at these nucleosomal intervals.
