Question

Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? select all that apply. hints select all that apply. methylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of the chromatin. deacetylation of histone tails in chromatin loosens the association between nucleosomes and dna. dna is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form. acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to dna for transcription. some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generations of cells. acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process?

Answer 1

The following statements are true about the modification of chromatin structures in the eukaryotes:
1. Melthylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of the chromatin.
2. DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is package tightly in a condensed form.
3. Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription.
4. Some form of chromatin modifications can be passed on to future generation of cells.
5. Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process.
