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.
Answer:
There are no options in this question but generally a sample of DNA can be increased;
By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.
Explanation:
This question describes the application of making molecular biology to solving a crime problem; a branch called forensics. In this case where an insufficient small amount of DNA sample was recovered from the blood in a crime scene, the polymerase chain reaction technique, commonly known as PCR can be used to increase the DNA sample.
In the 1980's, a molecular technique used to amplify part of a template DNA strand to produce several copies of it, was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues. This amplification refers to the numerical increase in the number of DNA sequence.
