Question 1.
What does epigenetics refer to?
Show hintHide hint
Think about changes that don't modify the DNA sequence.
Question 2.
Name one key mechanism of epigenetic regulation.
Show hintHide hint
What processes affect gene accessibility?
3Question 3.
What is epigenetics?
- A. Changes in DNA sequence
- B. Changes in gene expression without altering DNA
- C.Only modifying RNA
Show hintHide hint
Remember, it’s about gene expression, not sequence.
