Question

What is the role of DNA methylation in eukaryotes?

To protect the DNA from restriction endonucleases
To prevent nucleosome formation on that region of DNA
To distinguish the active X chromosome from the inactive X chromosome in counting
To aid in silencing transcription

Bacteriophage λ, after infecting a cell, can integrateinto the chromosome of the cell if the repressor protein, cI, binds to and shuts down phage transcriptionimmediately. (A strain containing a bacteriophageDNA integrated into the chromosome is called a lysogen.) The alternative fate is the production of manymore viruses and lysis of the cell. In a mating, a donor strain that is a lysogen was crossed with a lysogenic recipient cell, and no phages were produced.However, when the lysogen donor strain transferredits DNA to a nonlysogenic recipient cell, the recipientcell burst, releasing a new generation of phages. a. Why did the mating with a nonlysogenic recipientresult in phage growth and release, but the infectionof a lysogenic recipient did not?
