Hey there! :D
When we are talking about gametes, we can use a punnet square, or in this case, common knowledge. If two of the alleles for one phenotype are the same, we can infer there will only be two variations of the genotype. (because there are two dominant SS genes) We already know that "D" must be the answer. Firstly, there will be one allele for each gene, so there will always be an "S" and a "T" no "SS" or "tt" (when talking about gametes). That leaves us with B and D but there is no recessive "s" in the original genotype, so the answer must be "D".
I hope this helps!

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.
x or y because both can cause it
