The size of a cell is generally controlled by the amount of DNA in the nucleus: the more DNA, the larger the cell. What do experiments in which the amount of DNA is doubled (tetraploidy in salamanders) tell us about growth control?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

The animals grow to a normal size, and contain only half as many cells, indicating that growth is regulated at the level of absolute size, rather than cell number.
The animals grow to twice the normal size, indicating that growth is regulated at the level of the number of cells present.
The animals end up with cells that are twice as big, but only half as many, resulting in an animal that is half its normal size, indicating that the number of cells is the critical determinant of growth.
The animals grow to a normal size, and contain only half as many cells, indicating that growth is regulated by the total amount of DNA present in an organism.

Choose the correct statement

a.The 30-nm fiber is further folded, results in 10000-fold compaction in euchromatin in interphase chromatin and in mitotic chromosomes to achieve an overall 10,00- fold compaction in euchromatin.

b.This 30-nm fiber is further folded, results in 1000-fold compaction in euchromatin in interphase chromatin and in mitotic chromosomes to achieve an overall 10,000- fold compaction in euchromatin.

c.Heterochromatin generally maintains 10,000-fold compaction in both interphase and mitosis after 30 nm.

d.Heterochromatin generally maintains 10,00-fold compaction in interphase and 10,000 folds in mitosis after 30 nm.

Choose the correct option

a. Individual nucleosomes can be obtained by treating chromatin with the endonuclease micrococcal nuclease (MNase), which cuts the DNA between nucleosomes, a region known as H2A-H2B dimer region.

b. Individual nucleosomes can be obtained by treating chromatin with the endonuclease micrococcal nuclease (MNase), which cuts the DNA between nucleosomes, a region known as linker DNA.

c. Mononucleosomes typically have 200 bp DNA. End-trimming reduces the length of DNA first to 165 bp and then generates core particles with 146 bp.

d. Mononucleosomes typically have 200 bp DNA. End-trimming reduces the length of DNA first to 165 bp and then generates core particles with 200 bp.
