Genes are not always active in cells. The cell has evolved to edit its chromatin state in accord with the energy needs of the cell and organism. What are these two kinds of chromatin called and how does chromatin modeling work in cells? Name four of the known families of chromatin remodeling complexes enzyme complexes that act directly on DNA to alter nucleosome composition in transcribed regions.
Think about the important functions of telomeres. Now, imagine a scenario in which a mutant eukaryotic cell DID NOT have such specialized telomeric regions present on its chromosomes. List three major CONSEQUENCES of the lack of telomeres, based upon what you know about their normal functions. Please clearly list 3 consequences

Origins of replication, centromeres, and telomeres are all involved in replication and segregation of chromosomes. Classify each statement below under the structure it describes. Each mammalian cell contains 10,000 of these, scattered through the chromatin of the nucleus. As a cell divides successively, this structure is prone to shortening in the absence of an enzyme that lengthens it; shortening puts a limit on how many times a particular cell is able to divide. If an average human chromosome had only one of these, its replication would take more than a month. Origin of replication Reset Certain proteins unwind the DNA double helix here to create mirror- image replication forks. In humans, this component consists of the sequence TTAGGG repeated 250-1500 times, depending on the cell type. This component can occur almost anywhere on a chromosome, except at the very ends. Telomere This structure is found at the ends of linear chromosomes. Cleavage of the cohesin complex of this…

Eukaryotic Genetic Sequence: 5'-TAC CAT GAT CCC TAT - 3' 1. What would be the newly synthesized DNA strand and explain how the strand will be replicated. Where in the cell would this occur? 2. What would be the synthesized mRNA strand, and how is it transcribed from the original DNA strand, and then converted from a pre-mRNA strand to a mature mRNA? Where in the cell does this occur? 3. What would be the anti-codons for the tRNA. What are the amino acids generated based on the RNA. How are these amino acids translated into protein and where in the cell does this happen?
. Early in development, most human cells turn off expression of an essential component of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for addition of telomere repeat sequences (5’-TTAGGG) to the ends of chromosomes. Thus, as our cells proliferate their telomeres get shorter and shorter, but are normally not lost over the course of a lifetime. If cells are removed from the body and grown in culture, however they ultimately enter a state of replicative senescence and stop dividing when their telomeres get too short. By contrast, most human tumor cells express active telomerase, allowing them to maintain their telomeres and grow beyond the normal limit imposed by senescence - good for them, bad for us. Anticipating a universal cure for cancer, you set up a company to screen chemical ‘libraries’ for telomerase inhibitors. The company share price takes a dive, however, when a rival group generates a strain of telomerase-knockout mice. These mice breed happily for several generations, but…
