A. Micrococcal Nuclease is an endonuclease thst digests sDNA or RNA, preferntially at AT- or AU-rich regions. These enzymes are responsible for fragmentation of chromatins. In the given expt, the total DNA of 7*10^6 bp are digested to yield 700, 1400 and 2100. Chromosomes are made of nucleosomes which are histone octamers bound to the DNA.
Micrococcal nucleases cleave between the nucleosomes initially. So the 2100 fragments are the mononucleosomes. This is followed by end-trimming on further incubation that reduces the length of DNA. So 1400 fragment is the trimmed nucleosome particle. After prolonged incubation, nucleases cleave this trimmed nucleosome to final core particles that are represented by the 700 fragments.
