What happens if histone H1 is selectively extracted from compacted chromatin (30 nm fibers)?
A)30-nm fibers uncoil to form a thinner,more extended beaded filament.
B)30-nm fibers coil to form a thicker,less extended cylindrical filament.
C)30-nm fibers completely disassemble to their component nucleotides.
D)30-nm fibers break into small fragments.
E)30-nm fibers break up into large fragments.

Histone H1 is responsible for compacting 30-nm fibers into even more compact structures, and its removal results in the uncoiling of these fibers. This leads to the formation of a thinner, more extended beaded filament that is less tightly packed than the original chromatin structure.
