For example, your standard fixed overhead cost is $3 per unit. If your actual fixed overhead cost is $4 per unit, you have an unfavorable variance of $1. You spent $1 more per unit than you had originally budgeted.
In biology, histones are highly alkaline proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. They are the chief protein components of chromatin, acting as spools around which DNA winds, and playing a role in gene regulation. Without histones, the unwound DNA in chromosomes would be very long (a length to width ratio of more than 10 million to 1 in human DNA).
Five major families of histones exist: H1/H5, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 are known as the core histones, while histones H1 and H5 are known as the linker histones. The core histones all exist as dimers, which are similar in that they all possess the histone fold domain; three alpha helices linked by two loops.
