Title: What happens to nucleosomes during DNA replication?

Ans: The histones associated with nucleosomes dissociate from the DNA in the vicinity of the replication fork during DNA replication and quickly reform following replication. The histones remain in the forms of the H32-H42 tetramer and the H2A-H2B dimer during their dissociation.
