2007-03-23 1.4.9 The repeated genes for rRNA maintain constant sequence Key Terms Bam islands are a series of short, repeated sequences found in the nontranscribed spacer of Xenopus(爪蟾) rDNA genes. The name reflects their isolation by use of the BamI restriction enzyme. Key Concepts · The genes in an rDNA cluster all have an identical sequence. · The nontranscribed spacers consist of shorter repeating units whose number varies so that the lengths of individual spacers are different. Figure 4.17 The nontranscribed spacer of X. laevis rDNA has an internally repetitious structure that is respon
