QUESTION 39Histone acetylation leads to which of the following events?a. DNA becomes more tightly wound around the histone proteins, decreasing the potential level oftranscription of the genes found in that stretch of DNA (i.e., genes are silenced or "muted")b. DNA becomes more relaxed, increasing the potential level of transcription of the genes found inthat stretch of DNA (i.e., increased access to genes)c. DNA is converted into a series of phospholipids, which can then be incorporated into themembrane of the celld. RNA polymerase is recruited, allowing for the start of DNA replicatione. None of the aboveO O

Gene is the hereditary material of an organism. The genes are passed on from the parent generation to their progeny. Genes consist of a specific nucleotide sequence called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that is responsible for the expression of the distinct phenotypic characteristics among individuals in a population.a. DNA becomes more tightly wound around histone proteins, decreasing the potential level of transcription of genes found in that stretch of DNA This option is incorrect. b. DNA becomes more relaxed, increasing the potential level of transcription of genes found in that stretch of DNA This option is correct. The acetylation of histone causes the chromatin structure to loosen up, and leads to transcription. c. DNA is converted into a series of phospholipids, which can be incorporated into the cell membrane. This option is incorrect. d. RNA polymerase is incorporated, allowing the start of DNA replication This option is incorrect. e. None of the above This option is incorrect.
