Question 1

The density of DNA in a eukaryotic nucleus is about:


◦ 1 mg/ml.
◦ 10 mg/ml.
◦ 100 mg/ml.
◦ 240 mg/ml.
◦ 500 mg/ml.

Question 2

What would happen if a mutation in the telomerase gene resulted in loss of the enzyme's function?


◦ The overall rate of point mutations in genes would increase.
◦ The number of telomeric repeats would increase.
◦ Genes could not be transcribed.
◦ DNA could not be replicated.
◦ There would be an increase in chromosome breakages and rearrangements.
