Explain Radial loop–scaffold mechanism

Expert Solution
Step 1

The chromosomes resemble a mass of extremely fine tangled string called "chromatin." Each convoluted thread of chromatin is composed mainly of DNA that carries the genetic information and histone protein that serves as a scaffold for packaging and managing that information.
Histone proteins associate with the DNA to protect it from thermal and chemical damage.
