The Nucleosome has an approximate two fold axis of symmetry which is called the Dyad Axis. So when you rotate the Nucleosome by 180 degree you would observe the similar view of Nucleosome before the rotation.
its quite intresting to kno dat in a single cell the length of DNA integrated is about 2metres or more. so to accomodate dat much length of smething it needs to b wrapped. it can can b thought of packing a heap of clothes in a small suitcase. So it has to be compacted to a level of packing called nucleosomes.
DNA and proteins called histones
A nucleosome is approximately 10 nm in size and consists of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins. It is a fundamental unit of chromatin structure in eukaryotic cells.
The section of DNA with eight associated histone proteins is called a nucleosome. Nucleosomes are the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells, where DNA is wrapped around a core of histone proteins to form a chromatin structure.
A nucleosome is a complex made of 8 histones with DNA wrapped around it approximately twice. Histone 1 probably serves to help stabilize the further wrapping of the nucleosomes into a solenoid. All of this helps to get 6 feet of DNA in a cell much less than a millimeter across.

This is called a Chromatid. For example a Human Chromosome that is expanded at 32,000 micrometers long will loop {supercoil} around Histones and end up being just 6 micrometers long!

A nucleosome is approximately 10 nm in size and consists of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins. It is a fundamental unit of chromatin structure in eukaryotic cells.
The nucleosome is the basic unit that organizes the structure of an eukaryotic chromosome. The nucleosome is DNA wrapped around histone proteins which allows the DNA to condense into chromosomes.
HistonesHistones are proteins that aid in the organization of DNA into chromosomes. There are four types of histones found in chromatin: H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Two of each histone comprise a protein core, a nucleosome, which DNA wraps around twice. What results is a "bead on a string" model in which the nucleosomes are the beads and the linker DNA binds them together. Another characteristic of histones are the protein tails that extend outward from the "bead." The tails and the degree of their acetylation is an important factor in gene expression. See related links and images below.
Nucleosomes are the basic repeating units of chromatin which is a combination of DNA and proteins that make up the content's of a cell's nucleus. Nucleosomes are made of a histone octamer which is comprised of two of the following histones: H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. The histone octamer is bound and wrapped around approximately 146 base pairs of DNA and an additional H1 histone is added and is wrapped around 20 more base pairs.
The core of the reactor contains the nuclear fuel. Having a moderator in place within the core ensures that the nuclear fuel is processed at an accurate time duration. This can prevent serious problems from occurring within the entire nuclear reactor.

A nucleosome is essential to DNA because it serves as the fundamental unit of chromatin structure, allowing for the efficient packaging of DNA within the cell nucleus. Each nucleosome consists of a segment of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins, which helps to condense the long DNA molecules, making them manageable during processes like cell division. This compact structure also plays a critical role in regulating gene expression by controlling the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors and other proteins involved in gene activation or repression. Thus, nucleosomes are vital for both the organization of genetic information and the regulation of cellular functions.
