Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromatin remodeling refers to changes in the organization and accessibility of the DNA-histone complex, which can increase or decrease transcriptional activity. This can involve the alteration of histone modifications or the repositioning of nucleosomes, among other mechanisms. Induction and gene regulation are broader concepts that may encompass chromatin remodeling, but do not specifically refer to changes in the DNA-histone complex. Nucleosome formation is a normal process that occurs as DNA is packaged into chromatin, and is not necessarily associated with changes in transcriptional activity.
