Definition
1.H2A, H2B, H3, H4
Term
1.How much DNA is packed into a nucleosome
Definition
1.146bp
Term
1.What is the size of a bead on the string fiber?
Definition
1.10nm
Term
1.What makes bead on the string fiber fold into the more compact level of fiber
Definition
1.H1 folds
Term
1.What is the size of the fiber
Definition
1.30 nM
Term
1.Area of chromosomes where it exists in the form of heterochromatin in interphase
Definition
1.Centromeres
Term
1.What are types of covalent modifications of histones?
Definition
1.Acetylation, Methylation, Ubiautiantion, Phosphoylation
Term
1.What part modifies often?
Definition
1.Histone tails
Term
1.What binds to the acetylated residues of histones
Definition
Bromodomain
Term
1.What binds to the methylated residues of histones
Definition
1.Chromo domains
Term
1.What kind sequence are used to build telomeres?
Definition
1.Telomere uses simple tandem repeats
Term
1.What is the difference between G-rich & C-rich strands?
Definition
1.G-rich has a -3’ overhang at the end
Term
1.What is the structure of t-loop) Draw
Definition
1.Draw in diagram
Term
Why do telomeres tend to become shorter during replications
Definition
1.DNA pol cannot replicate the ends of DNA
Term
Describe a mechanism can be used to lengthen telomere discontinuously
Definition
Reverse transcription with reverse transcriptase
Term
1.What other mechanisms can be used to lengthen telomere continuously.
Definition
1.Other mechanisms- transposes and recombination
Term
What are 3 types of telomere building proteins
Definition
1.3 types- end-binding proteins, double stranded binding proteins, and proteins that associate with DNA binding proteins
Term
1.What happens when they overexpressed
Definition
1.Overexpressed- they become shorter telomeres
Term
1.Consequences of telomere loss.
Definition
1.The cell with the unprotected end is “repaired” as a  DNA break which causes broken chromosome and will join the chromosome back together
Term
1.What chromosome territory?
Definition
1.Chromosomal territory- each chromosome will occupy own space
Term
1. How does location of Chromosomal region in the nucleus correlate with transcriptional.
Definition
Increase location of a chromosomal region increase transcription
Term
1.What happens in nucleolus part of the nucleolus that contains the ribosome RNA gene.
Definition
1.Nucleolus-  part of nucleus that transcribes rRNA
Term
1.Mechanisms used by nucleosome remodeling complex
Definition
1.Mechanism used by NRC
1.Sliding histones
2.Removing histones
3.Introducing loops into DNA
Term
1.Domain always present in structure of NRC’s
Definition
1.ATPase
Term
1.How do NRCS bind chromatin
Definition
IDK
Term
1.What is base flipping? How does it work?
Definition
1.Mechanism
A cytosine (red) is flipped out of the DNA double-helix (black)
An amino acid is temporarily inserted to stack in the double-helix
The cytosine is methylated and reinserted into the double-helix
Term
1.When mismatches are introduced by DNA polymerase and is not repaired during replication. How do bacteria identify wrong nucleotides to be replaced
Definition
1.The recognition sites of the mismatches are not methylated.
Term
1.Meaning of DNA methylation in Eukaryotes in Eukaytes?
Definition
1.In Eukaryotes- Silent transcription ( CGP or CPXPS sites)
Term
1.What reason for bacteria to have both DNA methylate's and restriction endonucleases modifying and cleaning the same sequence.
Definition
The Bacteria will sue methy;lation to ddistinguish their genomic DNA from invading bacteriophage DNA.  The restriction enzyme is used to cut DNA at sites containing particular recognition sequences.
Term
1.What is Epigenetic inheritance?
Definition
1.Heritable alternations in which the DNA sequence itself is changed
Term
1.What modification used to silence one X chromosome in females
Definition
1.X-Chromosome inactivation
Term
1.What is Impriting?
Definition
Separating euchromatin and net euchromatin
Term
1.Function of insulators
Definition
1.Divide heterochromatin & euchromatin
Term
Does position effect variegation in drosophi one example of epigenetic inheritance
Definition
1.Yes it is due to the fact that white gene is moved closer to the heterochromatin and the boundary element between them is removed. The White gene is silenced when the heterochromatin encroaches onto the white gene and covers it up.
Term
1.What is kinetochore
Definition
1.Regional point and hollowcentric
Term
1.3 types of centromeres
Definition
1.Point
2.Regional
3.Holocentric
Term
1.What is the size of human centromeres, what sequences do they contain and how these sequences are arranged
Definition
1.CENP-A
Term
1.Version of H3 are bound to DNA in human centromere
Definition
1.Neocentromere
Term
1.What happens when a centromeric region is removed from the chromosome
Definition
1.Self-propagation will not oc cur, and a functional centromere will not be established at that location.
