Around the salt lake, what is the geologic age of the area and what type of geologic unit is found there?

The Salt Lake City is known to be the centre of political and economic affairs in the whole state of Utah. In addition to that, the city, as well as the city can be traced back to its rich history of its geology. The state of Utah was known to have been covered with water in the pre-historic past as early as the Palaeozoic Era.

Answer/ Explanation:

Chromosomes are highly condensed and compact structures. This means the chromatin (protein plus DNA complex) is hierarchically organised into tight structures through progressive folding of chromatin.

However, this is only the case during cell division. When the cell is in interphase and performing its normal duties, it is in a much more decondensed structure. This is because in order for transcription to occur, the cell needs to be able to access the information in the DNA. For example, transcription factors need to bind at their gene promoters to promote transcription.

When the DNA is folded into chromosomes, cellular factors do not have access to the genetic information due to the physical constraints of the chromatin structure.
