Why is it necessary for the genetic material in a cell to exist in chromatin form during normal cellular activity, and not in ch

romosome form?

4 0

Answer/ Explanation:

Chromosomes are highly condensed and compact structures. This means the chromatin (protein plus DNA complex) is hierarchically organised into tight structures through progressive folding of chromatin.

However, this is only the case during cell division. When the cell is in interphase and performing its normal duties, it is in a much more decondensed structure. This is because in order for transcription to occur, the cell needs to be able to access the information in the DNA. For example, transcription factors need to bind at their gene promoters to promote transcription.

When the DNA is folded into chromosomes, cellular factors do not have access to the genetic information due to the physical constraints of the chromatin structure.

It’s easy to understand why multiple bands would be present in the lanes containing DNA that has been cut with restriction enzym
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

These bands represent different confirmation of DNA

Explanation:

pGLO DNA is a plasmid DNA that is used as a vector for genetic engineering. Plasmid DNA is found in supercoiled confirmation in vivo. The double helix forms extra twists to easily fit inside the cells. During isolation of plasmid from the cell, nicks can be introduced in the DNA due to harsh isolating methods or contamination by nuclease. As a result the supercoiled confirmation is changed into circular confirmation. It is bulkier than the supercoiled form and travels more slowly. When both DNA stands get cut at the same place, the DNA gets liner confirmation. In the end, supercoiled DNA runs the fastest on gel followed by linear DNA and then the circular DNA.
