Nucleosome positioning along the DNA can influence where transcriptional regulatory proteins are able to bind DNA. If a nucleosome is bound to an enhancer sequence, it may outcompete a regulatory protein from binding the same sequence. Conversely, if an enhancer sequence is in the linker DNA where the nucleosome is absent, the regulatory protein does not have to compete with the nucleosome. The position of the nucleosome can alter the accessibility of a sequence of DNA to DNA binding proteins. Suppose that this region of DNA contained several enhancer sequences that bind highly conserved regulatory proteins to stimulate transcription of a gene in this region, and that binding is more efficient when the enhancer sequence isnot associated with a nucleosome.

Explanation:

In sea Uchins, fewer neuclosomes occupy the same region of DNA (326 vs 512 in drosophilia melanogaster); therefore is less competition between neuclosome and regulatory proteins that stimulate transcription and more RNA transcripts would be expected to be produced. since sea urchins have longer linker DNA segments than drosophilia melanogaster. when this region of DNA is moved to the sea Urchins it is likely that this enhancer sequence will fall within linker DNA.
