Which of the following statements regarding heterochromatin are NOT true: It is replicated late in S phase It is generally transcriptionally repressed It remains condensed in interphase It contains a higher proportion of active genes relative to euchromatin Which of the following statements regarding Polycomb group (PcG) proteins is correct? Gene suppression is not possible in the absence of PcG proteins They are required for the initial repression of a gene but not for maintaining repression subsequently They are not required for the initial repression of a gene but maintain repression subsequently They are required for the initial repression of a gene and for maintaining repression subsequently
