Imagine that gene X is in a chromosome region where the histones are highly acetylated.How will this affect its expression?
A) There will be no effect.
B) It will be transcribed but not translated.
C) It will be transcribed if the transcription factors receive the appropriate environmental signal.
D) It will not be transcribed or translated.
E) It will be transcribed if the histones become deacetylated.
