Chromosome Organization• if all of the DNA was stretched out, it would measure
1.8 metres in length • How does it fit into a typical human cell nucleus, 10
micrometres in diameter? • there is a hierarchical organization • DNA is coiled around a group of 8 stabilizing
proteins called histones, forming nucleosomes

Chromosome Organization
• Solenoid = a group of 6 nucleosomes coiled into chromatin fibres
• chromatin fibres fold into final chromatin structure through supercoiling.

Prokaryotic DNA

Prokaryotic DNA• primary DNA is single circular chromosome • supercoiling happens in prokaryotes • plasmids are other circular pieces of DNA contained
in prokaryotes • plasmids can be exchanged through conjugation

Telomeres

Telomeres• telomeres are non-coding, repetitive
sequences at the ends of chromosomes

Telomeres
![Page 17: Eukaryotic Chromosome Organization · 2019-11-24 · Chromosome Organization • if all of the DNA was stretched out, it would measure 1.8 metres in length • How does it fit into](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060500/5f1a61a57967ca24b7467138/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Telomeres• during replication, the last 5’
end primer on the lagging strand is removed but not replaced with DNA
• This shortens the telomeres on each subsequent replication cycle
![Page 18: Eukaryotic Chromosome Organization · 2019-11-24 · Chromosome Organization • if all of the DNA was stretched out, it would measure 1.8 metres in length • How does it fit into](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060500/5f1a61a57967ca24b7467138/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Telomeres• after many replications, telomeres will eventually
disappear, allowing coding DNA to be damaged • cell senescence- deteriorated functioning with
age as chromosomes shorten • Hayflick limit = total number of times a normal cell
can divide (about 50 in humans)
