What is the relationship between mobile genetic elements and DNA methylation?
A) DNA methylation is considered to be a defense against the spread of mobile genetic elements because it prevents transcription.
B) DNA methylation is reduced in regions of the genome associated with mobile genetic elements because methylation only targets protein-coding genes.
C) DNA methylation prevents RNA interference and therefore allows mobile genetic elements to spread.
D) DNA methylation is a form of post-transcriptional silencing of mobile genetic elements.
