Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When gene expression is down-regulated by epigenetics which of these are true?
A
Methyl groups attached
B
Acetyl groups attached
C
DNA tightly wound
D
DNA unwound
E
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Epigenetic mechanisms constrain expression by adapting regions of the genome to maintain either gene silencing or gene activity. This is achieved through direct chemical modification of the DNA region itself and by modification of proteins that are closely associated with the locus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence. Gene expression refers to how often or when proteins are created from the instructions within your genes.
