If a promoter region is mutated in such a way that it can no longer be methylated,what would the most likely effect be?
A)The gene linked to that promoter would be over expressed.
B)The gene linked to the promoter would still be expressed,but the protein should contain different amino acids.
C)The gene linked to the promoter would be expressed at regular levels.
D)The gene linked to that promoter would not undergo replication.
E)The gene linked to the promoter would be under expressed.

Methylation of promoter regions is known to inhibit gene expression. If a promoter region can no longer be methylated due to a mutation, then the gene linked to that promoter would be over expressed because there would be no inhibition of its expression.
