The histones of DNA are synthesized in
A. G1 phase
B. G2 phase
C. S phase
D. G0 phase
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The histones of DNA are synthesized in the S phase.The new histones are made in the cytoplasm during the S phase and are transported into the nucleus. It is deposited by chromatin assembly factors or histone chaperones on replicating DNA to form chromatin in a process known as chromatin assembly.
The old histones are disassembled from DNA, presumably shielded and chaperoned until they are reassembled into nucleosomes.
