histone / histones. Under the microscope in its extended form, chromatin looks like beads on a string. The beads are called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer.nder the microscope in its extended form, chromatin looks like beads on a string.

A health plan may provide longer periods of coverage beyond those required by COBRA. Under COBRA, an individual may be entitled to up to 18 months, 29 months, or 36 months of continuation coverage depending upon which qualifying event(s) triggered the COBRA coverage. The following table illustrates the maximum coverage periods for each qualifying event.
If you qualify, then you and your family may extend your COBRA coverage for an additional 11 months, but you may be required to pay up to 150% of the premium cost for those additional 11 months. A spouse or dependant may extend the COBRA continuation period to a maximum of 18 months under certain circumstances.
