Background: DNA nucleotides (i.e A, T, G, and C) are naturally found in a paired, or bonded, arrangement (i.e. the double helix) within the nucleus of every cell. This structure makes the process of replication that occurs prior to mitosis and meiosis very reliable. The purpose of DNA, though, is not simply to make copies of itself, but to provide a set of instructions for the synthesis or "construction" of biomolecules, such as proteins. Why is transcription (i.e. the formation of an RNA copy of a given gene) a necessary step in the "construction" process highlighted above? What is the cell looking to ultimately do with this RNA information?
Which of the following statements accurately describes the usual structure of a eukaryotic chromosome? Select one: O It is constructed as a series of nucleosomes wrapped around two DNA molecules. O It is composed of a single strand of DNA. O It is a single linear molecule of double-stranded DNA plus proteins. O It has different numbers of genes in different cell types of an organism.
Consider the following statements about polytene chromosomes. Which are true? More than one answer is correct. Options: Polytene chromosomes and normal chromosomes contain the same amount of DNA, but the former are much larger because they contain large quantities histones. Polytene chromosomes are circular. Puffs on polytene chromosome puffs are sites of active protein synthesis. Polytene chromosomes are found in interphase. Puffs on polytene chromosome puffs are sites of active RNA synthesis.
Which of the following statements about nucleosomes is NOT true? DNA is on the outside and is wrapped around the histone octamer DNA is inside the nucleosome core, surrounded by a histone octamer. Histone H1 is associated with the chromatosome. Histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are the core histones.
