Allele frequencies in a gene pool may shift randomly and by chance this random shift is called as "Genetic drift".

<u>Explanation:</u>

A shift in the occurrence of an established gene variant within a population due to spontaneous species sampling is understood as a "Genetic drift".The offspring alleles are a composite of those within the parents and opportunity has a key role in deciding whether or not a given person lives and reproduces.

Genetic drift contributes to the retention of populations of the alleles or genotypes. The key difference is that frequencies in genetic drift alleles alter by chance, while frequencies shift by differential reproductive success in natural selection allele.

Answer:

Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generation of cells

Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription

DNA is not transcribed when packaged tightly in a condensed form

methylation of histone tails can promote condensation of the chromatin

Explanation:

chromatin modifications that can be passed on includes epigenetic modifications that are heritable changes made to the chromatin structure that does not involve the DNA sequences. Some epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation and Histone modifications. examples of histone modification include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquintylation etc. All these function either in allowing the DNA become more accessible to transcritional factors or vice versa. for exmple, histone tail acetylation encourages unwounding of nucleosomes allowing transcriptional factors to have access to the DNa while histone tails methylation further tightens the nucleosomes promoting condensation of the chromatin.
