A nucleosome forms hydrogen bonds with what part of the DNA?

Biology

Answer:

D) with the phosphodiester backbone and with bases via the minor groove

Explanation:

The double helix is ​​a fairly rigid and viscous molecule of immense length and a small diameter. In this molecule a major groove and a minor groove can be observed.

The major groove is deep and wide, the minor groove is shallow and narrow.

DNA-protein interactions are essential processes in cell life (activation or repression of transcription, DNA replication and repair).

Proteins bind to the inner part of the DNA grooves, through specific junctions: hydrogen bonds, and non-specific junctions: van der Waals interactions, and other general electrostatic interactions.

The proteins recognize donors and acceptors of hydrogen bonds, methyl groups (hydrophobic), the latter exclusive of the major groove; There are four possible patterns of recognition in the major groove, and only two in the minor groove (see figures).

Some proteins bind to DNA through the major groove, some others through the minor groove, and some need to bind to both, but the nucleosome form hydrogen bonds via the minor groove with the phophodiester backbone.

In order to carry out the testcross, you should cross your original pea plant with another pea plant whose phenotype is ________
Makovka662 [10]
<span>My pea plant has an unknown genotype for flowers, whether it has two dominant traits for white flowers (WW) or one dominant and one recessive (Ww) leading to white flowers; therefore I am doing a testcross in order to determine the genotype of my pea plant. The best plant to do this with is one that has a phenotype of purple flowers (ww) - that is, it is homozygous for the recessive trait. If I use a homozygous recessive plant, I know exactly what its genotype is. I don't have to worry about whether it's got one or two dominant alleles; I know that at least half of my alleles are going to be the recessive w. This makes identifying the offspring's genotype very simple. If I find that the offspring have at least some purple flowers among them, I know that my original plant had to be Ww; that is it had to have one dominant and one recessive allele for the flower color gene. If, however, all of the offspring are white flowers, I know that my original pea plant had both dominant alleles (WW).</span>
