Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the structural formation that occurs when six nucleosomes are combined. To answer this, we need to understand the relationship between nucleosomes and higher-order chromatin structures.

Answer

One-start solenoid superhelix.

The final answer is a one-start solenoid superhelix.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is a one-start solenoid superhelix.

More Information

When six nucleosomes are bound together, they can form a one-start solenoid superhelix. This structure is part of the higher order organization of DNA, aiding in compacting the DNA into a more packed and structured format, essential for efficient chromosome organization within the nucleus.
