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?

3 0

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.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with location of gene expression.

Explanation:

A regulatory sequence refers to a section of a molecule of nucleic acid that possesses the tendency of declining or upsurging the expression of particular genes within an organism. The regulation of gene expression is an important characteristic of all living species and viruses.  

In the given case, it is essential to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when developing a recombinant gene as a regulatory sequence monitors the location of gene expression.
