  40. 40Compression of DNA is mediate by whatproteins
  41. 41What is the chromosome compositionDNA + protein
  42. 42Number of chromosomes in humans46; 22 pairs and XX or XY

  49. 49What is special about H1 (histone)○ Not part of nucleosome
    ○ Helps assemble nucleosomes into the 30nm fibre
    ○ Non-chromosomal protein; changes that path DNA takes as it exists the nucleosome core, allowing it to become more compact

  62. 62Describe the genes in heterochromatinThe genes in heterochromatin are generally inaccessible to enzymes and are turned off
  63. 63What is EuchromatinDNA that is loosely packed around histones
  64. 64Describe the genes in EuchromatinThis DNA is more accessible to enzymes and the genes in euchromatin can be activated if needed.

  74. 74What are the untranscribed regions near genesca. 2% of non-coding regions of DNA
    Areas flanking genes, esp. at the 5' end are important regulatory elements that control the production of mRNA

  76. 76What are LINESViral retrotransposable elements
    Long Interspersed Elements
  77. 77What are SINESNon-viral retrotransposable elements
