Discuss Genome characteristics – explain how genome size and gene density differ in simple organisms, such as prokaryotes, versus more complex organisms, such as ourselves. Discuss why these different genome characteristics exist in simple versus complex organisms.
All eukaryotes posses smaller, usually circular mitochondrial genomes. The only general eukaryotic feature not illustrated by human genome is the presence in plants and other photosynthetic organisms of a third genome located in chloroplasts. Although basic physical structures of all the eukaryotic nuclear genes are similar, one important feature is different in different organisms. This is genome size. The smallest eukaryotic genome being in size of 10mb in length and largest over 100000 Mb. The size range to certain extent coincides with the complexity of the organism. The simplest eukaryote such as fungi having the smallest genome and the highest eukaryotes such as vertebrates and flowering plants having the largest one.

A cell line isolated from a patient shows decreased transcription of the pS2 gene in response to oestrogen. 1) Explain how you would investigate whether all of the key components for the initiation of transcription are recruited to the pS2 promoter in the right order. Include all of the different classes of proteins that you would look for. [15 marks ] 2) Your results demonstrate that although all of the key components are recruited to the promoter of your gene...
Genetics Worksheet Week 3: Gene Regulation and Epigenetics 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in a gene that is 2.5 million nucleotides in length and encodes a protein called dystrophin. The dystrophin protein itself is 3684 amino acids in length. Calculate below the approximate size of the mRNA that encodes dystrophin. Approximately what percentage of the gene that encodes dystrophin is intron sequence? The human genome encodes a much greater variety and number of proteins than the...
