Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genes are active in euchromatin, which is a less condensed and more accessible region of the chromosome. Heterochromatin, on the other hand, is highly condensed and typically contains inactive genes. The histone is a protein involved in packaging the DNA in the chromosome, but it is not the region where genes are active. The nucleoid refers to the region where the DNA is located in prokaryotes, not eukaryotes. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA found outside of the chromosome and are not directly involved in gene activity in the chromosome.
