 Darlington proposed that

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Climax communities are self-maintaining
  2. The number of species inhabiting an island doubles with every tenfold increase in area
  3. Extinction rates are higher on larger islands and lower on smaller islands
  4. The number of species of a taxon inhabiting an island maintains a dynamic equilibrium, with the immigration of new species balancing the extinction of previously established species

You want to study the potential interaction between nucleosome-bound DNA and a specific histone deacetylase. You decide to perform an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). You use a 32P end-labelled, linear template DNA that contains two nucleosome positioning sites. You assemble two nucleosomes on the DNA template before incubation with and without the histone deacetylase. For some reactions, you use unmodified nucleosomes. For other reactions, you use nucleosomes that are methylated at lysine 36 of the histone protein H3.

A. The histone deacetylase binds nucleosome bound-DNA in lanes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

B. The histone deacetylase binds nucleosome bound-DNA in lanes 3& 4.

C. The histone deacetylase seems to recognize methylated nucleosomes at lysine 36 of histone H3 in lane 1, 2 & 3 better than unmethylated nucleosomes in lane 4 &5

D. The histone deacetylase seems to recognize methylated nucleosomes at lysine 36 of histone H3 in lane 1 & 2 better than unmethylated nucleosomes in lane 3 &4
