You engineer a strain of S. cerevisiae cells that express mutant histone octomer complexes that exhibit a negatively-charged DNA-binding surface. Which of the following would you expect to happen in a sample of these cells?

The chromosomes of the mutant strain would condense only during mitosis.

Nucleosome core particles would not form.

Epigenetic inheritance would be observed.

All chromatin in the mutant strain would be condensed.

The DNA would package too tightly for any gene expression to occur.

  1. In the first set of experiments, you dissolve 1g yeast in either water, or 10% solutions of different sugars. At room temperature, you set up the eudiometers in parallel, with lots of air in each flask before you begin. These are the results. Plot them using the scatter plot function, set the Y intercept=0, and display the equations of the trendlines on the chart, with the title and axes carefully labeled. You can select/copy/paste the data shown in each table by clicking the little icon in the upper left hand corner or you may use the Excel spreadsheet provided on Canvas. Insert your graph below the data table and answer the following questions. For all of the eudiometer experiments the CO2 is measured in cubic centimeters or milliliters of displacement (of the colored water).
