Which of these epigenetic changes could shut down transcription of a particular gene? A. increased acetylation of histones associated with that gene B. removal of histone tails from the nucleosomes of that gene C. decreased acetylation of histones associated with that gene D. methylation of C residues near the promoter of that gene E. both C and D

Which of the following explain(s) how epigenetic inheritance occurs? Select all that apply. A. Histone modifying enzymes are capable of propagating histone modifications from nucleosome to adjacent nucleosome. B. Base modifications on a DNA strand assist with the modification of histones. C. Histone modifying proteins are capable of independently remembering the specific modifications that need to be added to newly synthesized DNA. D. Following replication, modified histones associate with unmodified histones.
