Document Summary

Circle the best single letter choice for each of the following questions before transferring your answers to your computer sheet. What does cpn60 do in giardia: it has no known function, it codes for a component of the electron transport chain, it codes for a molecular chaperone that aids in the folding of mitochondrial proteins. It codes for an essential transcription factor: bacteria and eukaryotes differ with respect to genome size. Which of the following lists correctly arranges the respective genomes in order of decreasing size? (note: there is no need to know the actual genome sizes, just general trends. ) Chlamydomonas chloroplast genome and mitochondrial genome about the same size: coli. Page 2 of 12: the image at the right shows a southern blot (dna probe hybridized to dna) for the cox2 gene. Dna was isolated from the mitochondria (mtdna) and nucleus (ndna) of three different species (a, b, c).
