Which of the following statements about heterochromatin is FALSE? It is difficult to sequence completely because of its repeat content. It is deleted from somatic cell genomes during development. It remains condensed through most of the cell cycle. It contains many repeated sequences, but few actively transcribed genes. It is found next to the centromeres and on short arms in human chromosomes.

Which of the following statements regarding heterochromatin are NOT true: It is replicated late in S phase It is generally transcriptionally repressed It remains condensed in interphase It contains a higher proportion of active genes relative to euchromatin Which of the following statements regarding Polycomb group (PcG) proteins is correct? Gene suppression is not possible in the absence of PcG proteins They are required for the initial repression of a gene but not for maintaining repression subsequently They are not required for the initial repression of a gene but maintain repression subsequently They are required for the initial repression of a gene and for maintaining repression subsequently

A) An antibody that recognizes DNA is used B) It can identify DNA sequences that a protein of interest binds to C) It can be followed by sequencing of the DNA, which is then called ChIP-seq D) Sonication is used to break up the DNA into shorter fragments

Which of the following statements about RNA splicing is false? a) Introns are not found in prokaryotic genes. b) In order for a gene to function properly, exons must be removed from the primary transcript. c) Small ribonucleoproteins in the spliceosome carry out the splicing reactions necessary for the removal of non-self-splicing introns. d) Splicing occurs after the 5' cap has been added to the end of the primary transcript.
