Question
Chapter 11, Problem 78RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The link between epigenetics and cancer is to be discussed.
Concept information:
When there is an alteration in the expression of the genes of an organism rather than a modification in the genetic code, this process is known as epigenetics.
Chromatin remodelers are the compounds that have the capability to modify the process of transcription by modifying the chromatic form.
Cancer is the proliferation of undifferentiated mass of cells.
