Suppose a translocation occurs between chromosome 14 andchromosome 21 in an individual. A translocation is the result ofthe fusion between two nonhomologous chromosomes. Chromosome 14 is109 million base pairs in length, while chromosome 21 is 48 millionbase pairs in length. For this problem, assume that thetranslocation fuses the entirety of chromosome 14 to the entiretyof chromosome 21. a. How long is the DNA portion of thistranslocation chromosome in meters? b. How many nucleosomes arefound within this translocation chromosome? Assume that the averagelength of the linker DNA is 50 base pairs. c. How many H2Amolecules would you expect to find within this translocationchromosome? d. How many radial loop domains would you expect tofind within this translocation chromosome?
