Human chromosomes are linear dsDNA and they often show topological constraints, particularly during DNA replication and transcription. Why do the chromosomal DNA would have topological constraints?
A. Multitudes of H bonding between bases make long dsDNA quite stable
B. Protein-DNA interactions may cause changes in the DNA topology
C. Chromosomes circularize during replication and transcription
D. Because of two of these options
E. Because all of these options
Homework Answers
answer: B
the chromosomal DNA would have topological constraints because of the presence of Protein-DNA interactions that may cause changes in the DNA topology.
topological constrains is because of the supercoiling of DNA , supercoiling represents a coiling of DNA double helix upon itself. it can occur in covalently closed circular DNA and also in linear DNAs that are topologically contrained by being complexed with proteins. in linear DNAs if the ends of the molecules are fixed then any rotational freedom that the two backbones might have about one another is removed and as a result any local twisting or untwisting will cause a strain on the structure .

Which of the following is TRUE of incomplete penetrance? Select one: a. Epistatic interactions can result in incomplete penetrance in some cases. b. Environmental factors do not influence penetrance. c. Incomplete penetrance implies that some individuals will experience less severe forms of disease, such as cancer or Alzheimer's. d. Incomplete penetrance is never observed with Huntington's disease e. Incomplete penetrance refers to cases in which individuals developing a particular disease (e.g., cancer or Alzheimer's) lack the typical genotype for this...

2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
