Answer:

The correct answer will be option-formation of heterochromatin

Explanation:

Methylation of DNA is the epigenetic mechanism which controls the expression of a gene by adding a methyl group to the cytosine bases in eukaryotic DNA.

The methylation of DNA converts the cytosine residues to the  5-methylcytosine catalysed by DNA methyltransferase enzyme. This results in the silencing of the gene and transcription get switched off.

Studies have shown that DNA methylation is involved in the formation and maintenance of the heterochromatin structure which is the condensed form of the chromatin in which transcription is switched off.

Thus, the formation of heterochromatin is the correct answer.

Over [174]

Answer:

Sickle cell disease in an autosomal recessive inherited disease which is caused by the mutation in the HBB (hemoglobin-β gene) gene present on the chromosome no. 11. In sickle cell, the red blood cells become sickle shape due to the abnormal shape of hemoglobin present in it.

These sickle cells are known to form a blockage in the blood vessels thereby causing damage to the vital organs. Human spleen constantly destroys sickle cells because they get trapped in it which causes a disease called sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia is normally the problem in genetic disease which is inherited from the parents to children. When both the DNA strand has a mutation in their HBB gene then only this disease will affect the individual.
