Hello

As you may know, a single nucleosome is known to consist of around 150 bp of dna sequences wrapped to a core of histone proteins.

According to  van Holde (1988) the linker DNA has 20–90 base pairs (varying with species, tissues and genomes). On an avergae let us assume that it is 40 bp, in that case the ratio will be 15:4
