Question
Why is chromatin remodeling needed for double-strand break repair in eukaryotes?
Step 1
Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins (histones) that package DNA into a compact, organized structure within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. This structure can be tightly or loosely packed, affecting the accessibility of the DNA. Show more…

What are two changes that occur in the process of chromatin remodeling?
Chromatin remodeling is linked to epigenetics. Explain how this works and indicate the driving factors for this process
