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.
COBRA lets you continue the same policy, in some cases up to 36 months. If you have pre-existing health conditions and are eligible, you cannot be turned down or charged more due to your health conditions. Employers should send you a COBRA notice. You then have 60 days to elect the coverage.
