Question

Acetylation of histone increases transcription of gene due to ___________

a.
Increase in the DNA-histone interaction

b.
The acetyl groups are recognizable by RNA polymerase

c.
It induces DNA blending which is recognized by RNA polymerase

d.
It loosens the DNA-histone complex thus making it accessible to RNA polymerase

Answer 1

Answer:

Option d is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Acetylation of histone increases transcription of gene because it loosens the DNA-histone complex thus making it accessible to RNA polymerase.

Acetylation disturbs the association of Histone protein and DNA hence, making DNA more accessible to RNA polymerase.
