Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.8YT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given data, the length in centimeters (cm) of human chromosome 11 has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Chromosomes:

The double helix structures of copied DNAs get coiled to save space. Such coiled forms of DNA organize and protect the genetic information. This complete set of genetic information is packaged into chromosomes which are rod-shaped. So, a compact package of coiled DNAs is known chromosome which lies in the nucleus of cells.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given data, the factor by which the DNA is condensed further has to be found.

Concept Introduction:

DNA:

DNA is a self-replicating genetic material that is present in all living organisms. It carries genetic information from one generation to the several successive generations which brings several physical traits in an individual as a sign of resemblance from his/her parents and ancestors. Those traits are the uniqueness to the individual.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A reason for why the level of compaction of DNA in chromosome as discussed in sub-part (b) is necessary has to be suggested.
