QUESTION 2

1. Which organisms can have the largest size (most basepairs) of genome?

QUESTION 3

1. The majority of bacterial genome are stored on a ________ chromosome.

QUESTION 4

1. All eukaryotic genomes are stored on a ________ chromosome.

QUESTION 5

1. The number of genes that occur per basepair of the genome is ______.

QUESTION 6

1. The small arm of the chromosome is known as the __ arm.

QUESTION 7

1. The large arm of the chromosome is known as the __ arm.

QUESTION 8

1. The end of the chromosomes are known as _______.

QUESTION 9

1. The center of the chromosomes are known as _______.

QUESTION 10

1. The tightly packed portion of the chromosomes that stains darkly is known as ______.

QUESTION 11

1. The loosely packed portion of the chromosomes that stains lightly is known as ______.

QUESTION 12

1. This repetitive elements contains short repeats of DNA sequence that arises from replication errors and can not transpose.

QUESTION 13

1. This repetitive element is a type of transposable element that is short and does have reverse transcriptase.

QUESTION 14

1. This repetitive element is a transposable element that is long and contains a reverse transcriptase gene.

QUESTION 15

1. This repetitive element is a transposable element that contains viral DNA.

Answer 1

Smallest size of genome - viruses.

Largest size of genome- animals.

( Please don't presume that the size of genome is directly proportional to size of genome. It's not the case, genome size has nothing to do.with size of organisms)

Question 3- circular

Question 4- linear
