The Figure Below Illustrates Two Levels of DNA Packing in a Eukaryotic

question 30

Multiple Choice

The figure below illustrates two levels of DNA packing in a eukaryotic cell.
In which level is transcription most likely to occur?

• A) Conformation A, because the tight coiling brings regulatory DNA sequences closer together.
• B) Conformation A, because tight coiling only occurs during cell division which is when transcription occurs.
• C) Conformation B, because RNA polymerase can only access regulatory DNA when chromosomes are not condensed.
• D) Conformation B, because in this conformation, the DNA is completely separated from histones that bind to regulatory DNA sequences preventing transcription.
