Histones contain many basic amino acids including lysine. DNA and histones collectively form chromatin. Open chromatin is much more open and accessible to the transcriptional machinery than closed chromatin. Histone lysine acetylation is associated with open chromatin and occurs near genes that are being actively transcribed. Part A Given what you know about the chemical properties of DNA and the function of histones. whv do histones contain so many basic amino acids? Answer in no more than two sentences. Part B Given what you know about how acetylation affects lysine, why does histone lysine acetylation open chromatin? Answer in one sentence only.

A total of five binding sites are present in the sodium-potassium pump O b. Potassium ions are pumped into the cell, where they are present in lower concentration than the extracellular fluid O c.

Which of the following statements about nucleosomes is NOT true? DNA is on the outside and is wrapped around the histone octamer DNA is inside the nucleosome core, surrounded by a histone octamer. Histone H1 is associated with the chromatosome. Histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are the core histones.
Which of the following statements is TRUE? O Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted, overlapping, and intertwined with each other within the nucleus. O Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted and do not associate with histones until the cell is preparing to divide. O Interphase chromosomes are also known as euchromatin. Condensed, metaphase chromosomes are also known as heterochromatin. O Radial loops in the condensing chromosome are formed due to interactions between 30 nm fibers and the scaffolding proteins of the nuclear matrix - producing the 300 nm fiber of the chromosome O None of these are TRUE
Which one of the following statements is NOT true of histones? O They are involved in the packaging of eukaryotic chromatin. O They are highly conserved. O They are positively charged. They contain high amounts of arginine and lysine. O DNA double-wraps around seven histone proteins.
Which of the following statements concerning eukaryotic chromatin is true. Histones have an overall negative charge. Euchromatin is more condensed then heterochromatin. After replication nucleosomes are made up of a mixture of old and new histone proteins. Euchromatin is associated with the centromere and telomere regions. Heterochromatin are regions of active transcription.
Which of the following statements is TRUE? None of these are TRUE Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted, overlapping, and intertwined with each other within the nucleus. Radial loops in the condensing chromosome are formed due to interactions between 30 nm fibers and the scaffolding proteins of the nuclear matrix - producing the 300 nm fiber of the chromosome Interphase chromosomes are loosely compacted and do not associate with histones until the cell is preparing to divide. Interphase chromosomes are also known as euchromatin. Condensed, metaphase chromosomes are also known as heterochromatin.
Which of the following statements about heterochromatin is FALSE? It contains many repeated sequences, but few actively transcribed genes. It remains condensed through most of the cell cycle. It is found next to the centromeres and on short arms in human chromosomes. It is enriched for transposable elments Histone proteins in heterochromatin are heavily acetylated, reducing their affinity for the DNA backbone.
