Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The molecule that holds the bases of the radial loop domains in place.
Introduction: DNA is a complex molecule that stores all the genetic information. It contains about millions of bases in it. Therefore, the DNA has to be compacted so that it can be fit in a small nucleus. The eukaryotic DNA is compacted by various techniques such as in the form of chromosomes, nucleosomes, and nuclear matrix.

How does the animal life cycle differ from the alternation of generations exhibited hy plants?arrow_forwardSolid Wire Models of Cell Division 1- Get four solid wires, 2 long (1 green and 1 red) and two short (1 green and 1 red). This will represent the chromatin in a cell. The wires of the same length are homologous. Red wires will represent the chromatin from the female parent while green wires represent the chromatin from the male parent. Label the chromatin as follows: long green- 1a short green- 2c long red- 1b short red- 2d 2- Let the cell pass S phase. Replicate or duplicate each chromatin fiber. Do this by getting another set of wire identical to the original set. Label as before. 3- Combine the replicated chromatin fiber using masking tape. The tape will also mark the position of the centromere. For the short chromatin, place the tape exactly at the middle while for the long chromatin, place it at a point % from the end of the wire. 4- Assume that the chromosome fibers are folded.
