anonymous · Answer

thanks man i'll do some more reading the question is worth 6 marks.

aaronq · Answer

essentially they're really long, you should include details such as how long they are (in base pairs) and how fast polymerase copies them (also in base pairs).

anonymous · Answer

due to acetylation, and methylation of histones on DNA, and transcription factors can inhibit transcription in the first place. length has nothing to do with DNA replication time

aaronq · Answer

the question was about replication not transcription.

aaronq · Answer

acetylation enhances transcription by relaxing the chromatin btw.
