Would the viral insertion of a proto-oncogene into a region of genomic DNA with non-acetylated histones be likely to lead to a cancerous cell? Explain. (Read the answer options VERY carefully!) A. NO it would not lead to a cancerous cell. Non-acetylated histones = condensed chromatin so viral insertion here means there would be no transcription so this would not increase levels of the protein. B. NO it would not lead to a cancerous cell. Non-acetylated histones = open chromatin so viral insertion here means there would be high levels of transcription and this would increase the levels of the protein C. YES it would lead to a cancerous cell. Non-acetylated histones = condensed chromatin so viral insertion here means there would be no transcription so this would not increase levels of the protein. D. YES it would lead to a cancerous cell. Non-acetylated histones = open chromatin so viral insertion here means there would be high levels of transcription and this would increase the levels of the protein E. Not enough information
