Question

DNA in a prokaryotic cell is localized in the ____________ region of the cell. The genome is organized into ____________ which experience ____________ super-coiling to tightly package the DNA. The exception to this is hyperthermophilic bacteria which use _____________ super-coiling to produce a more stable, tightly packaged, molecule of DNA capable of surviving higher temperatures. The ______________ of the genome are anchored by ___________ so that if one region of the genome is unwound due to damage, only that domain is damaged. The enzyme __________ also known as Topoisomerase II, creates negative supercoils by introducing a double-strand break in the DNA. This enzyme also relaxes DNA supercoils introduced during DNA synthesis by the enzyme ___________ nucleus nucleosome nucleoid domains territory positive negative histones histone-like proteins histamines topoisomerase I topoisomerase IV DNA Gyrase helicase single-stranded binding protein DnaK
