Document Summary

Big tree of life endosymbiosis genetic mergers genetic mosaics. David"s part of the midterm genomes genetic compartments size & non-coding dna structure small. Genomes are made up of one or more chromosomes karyotype. Human nuclear genome a complete set of nuclear chromosomes chromosome (2 copies = diploid) Diploid one copy of each (also called haploid) chromosome two copies of each chromosome. Diploid one copy of each chromosome two copies of each chromosome. How would you de ne a) the human nuclear genome and b) the human mitochondrial genome. Epulopiscium fishelsoni hundreds of thousands of copies of a circular chromosome. One of the largest known bacteria (600 x 60 m) Linear or circular who cares? easy to replicate hard to replicate telomeres are prone to damage origin of replication termination of replication origin of replication pg. 161-162 origin of replication termination of replication easy to replicate origin of replication origin of replication origin of replication.
