  1. A bit of DNA that encodes one protein
    gene
  2. How many bonds does A-T form
    2 hydrogen bonds
  3. How many bonds does G-C form?
    3 hydrogen bonds
  4. These bonds hold together the sugar-phosphate backbone
    • Covalent bonds
    • 3'-5' phosphodiester
  5. Temperature at which 50% of DNA melts
    Melting temperature
  6. What is the opposite of denaturing?
    annealing
  7. DNA mixed with proteins is called this
    Chromatin
  8. This protein helps organize DNA
    • Histones
    • 5 types
    • + charged
  9. This histon protein is variable
    H1
  10. A repeating structure in DNA "like beads on a string"
    Nucleosome
  11. What makes up a nucleosome?
    • 200 bp
    • 1 H1
    • 2 of the rest
  12. Nucleosomes coil to make this
    • solenoids
    • aka 30nm fibers

  14. This H-word means "very compact DNA, and cannot be transcribed"
    Heterochromatin
  15. This E-word means "diffused DNA, and can be transcribed"
    Euchromatin
  16. What are the 5 types of Histone proteins?
    • H1
    • H2A
    • H2B
    • H3
    • H4
  17. How do you modify Histone proteins to loosen up the DNA and allow transcription?
    You acetylate them
