Activated Genes Can Be Inactivated by Reversing Histone Modification During

Question

Activated genes can be inactivated by reversing histone modification during a process called ____.
A) chromatin remodeling
B) histone remodeling
C) chromatin interference
D) interference remodeling
E) histone interference

Accepted Answer

Chromatin remodeling is the process in which the structure of chromatin, which is comprised of DNA and histones, is altered to regulate gene expression. This can involve reversing histone modifications that activate genes, thus leading to their inactivation. Histone remodeling, interference remodeling, and histone interference are not accurate terms for this process, while chromatin interference is not a commonly used term in this context.
