O Both answer choice A and answer choice B are correct. The letter A indicates regions of a single chromosome which are condensed and attached to the nuclear lamina, and the letter B indicates regions of a single chromosome which are partially decondensed. O Answer choices A, B and C are all correct. O The letter A represents repressed TADS, and the letter B represents active TADS.arrow_forward
- During S phase, how are histonesand their modifying enzymescontrolled to replicate chromatinstructure on the duplicated DNA?arrow_forwardDraw and label G1 and G2 stages of interphase and each stage of mitosis (in order) for a cell that has two large and two small chromosomes, 2n=4. For unreplicated chromosome draw a line ( / ) and for replicated chromosome draw an X. Since we are focusing on the DNA, you can skip drawing the nuclear membrane or spindle fibers. For simplicity, do not indicate that the chromosomes are decondensed chromatin during interphase. Mark and label a place on one of the large chromosomes with the dominant allele of the “A” gene and put the recessive allele “a” on the other homolog. Mark and label a place on one of the small chromosomes with allele “B” and put the recessive allele “b” on the other homolog.arrow_forwardWhat types of genetic activities occur during interphase?
