A diploid nucleus of Drosophila melanogaster contains about 3.4 x 108 nucleotide pairs. Assume (1) that all nuclear DNA is packa

ged into nucleosomes and (2) that an average internucleosomal linker size is 60 nucleotide pairs. How many nucleosomes would be present in a diploid nucleus of this species and how many molecules of Histone H2a, H2b, H3 and H4 are required?

Answer:

nucleosomes = 1.65 x 10^6

H2a = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H2b = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H3 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

H4 = 3.3 x 10^6 molecules

Explanation:

It was mentioned in the book Principles of Genetics  By D. Peter Snustad, Michael J. Simmons that in the nucleus of <em>D. melanogaster </em>there will be 1.65 x 10^6 nucleosomes and 3.3 x 10^6 molecules of every type of histone i.e. H2a, H2b, H3, and H4 present in it.

True or false Evaporation is an example of a chemical change
dmitriy555 [2]
False. Evaporation is a physical change it is not a chemical change. It is a physical change because it is going from the liquid phase to the gas phase. It is not a chemical change because it is still made of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom.

Which offspring will be homozyguous dominant?
sukhopar [10]
Homozygous dominant is when 2 dominant alleles are present. Solve the punnett square and whichever boxes have 2 dominant (uppercase/capitalized) letters in it are homozygous dominant

I cannot read the letters on your picture very well, I'm sorry.

You are performing a biochemical purification of enzymes involved in DNA replication. You have purified the replisome. You wish
algol [13]

Confirm that the sample has both helicase and primase activities, but not the ability to synthesize DNA

  • The replisome is a multiprotein-RNA complex that is required for the replication of DNA. The replisome consists of different proteins which include:

            1. Helicase enzymes that unwind and separate the DNA strand

            2. Replication factor C (RFC), a DNA-dependent ATP that acts as an activator of DNA polymerase.

           3. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)

           4. DNA gyrase/topoisomerase that cuts and reseals DNA strands, which is essential for DNA synthesis.

           5. Primase enzyme that synthesizes short RNA fragments called primers.

          6. DNA polymerase III, an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand.

           7. DNA ligases enzymes that form phosphodiester bonds at a single-strand break in DNA

  • A primosome is a multiprotein complex responsible for creating RNA primers on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) during the replication process.
  • The primosome is composed of different primase and helicase enzymes. In<em> Escherichia coli</em>, it consists of PriA helicase, PriB, PriC, DnaB helicase, DnaG (encoded by the dnaG gene), DnaC and DnaT primase.
