V) hich of the following can change the gene expression by methylation and acetylation without affecting the content of the gene?
High-Yield Explanation
Ans.: A. Epigenetics"Epigenetics is defined as changes that alter the pattern of gene expression that persist across at least one cell division but are not caused by changes in the DNA code. Epigenetic changes include alterations of chromatin structure mediated bymethylation of cytoosine residues in CpG dinucleotides, modification of histones by acetylation or methylation, or changesin higher-order chromosome structure- " Harrison"
