Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epigenetic marks or tags, such as methylation or acetylation, can influence whether a segment of DNA is condensed or relaxed, and therefore able or unable to be activated. Histones can also play a role in this process, but the best answer is D, as it encompasses a wider range of epigenetic influences. Inheritances and alleles are not directly related to DNA condensation or activation.
