Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding the assembly of DNA into higher-order chromatin structure?

I. Histone H1 is not part of the histone octamer, but binds to linker DNA and is responsible for higher-order chromatin structure.

II. The 30 nm fibers of a chromosome are attached to a/an RNA-protein scaffold that holds the fibers in large loops.

III. It is not possible for linear DNA to be supercoiled. Only circular DNA, which has no ends, can have regions of supercoiling.

IV. Core histones lacking their amino-terminal tails are capable of forming 30-nm fibers as they help to stabilize the 30-nm fiber in internucleosomal interactions.

In a hospital laboratory, a 10.0 mL sample of gastric juice, obtained several hours after a meal, was titrated with 0.1 M NaOH to neutrality; 7.2 mL of NaOH was required. The patient’s stomach contained no ingested food or drink, thus assume that no buffers were present. What was the pH of the gastric juice?

When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate into individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
