A) methylation of histone protein done by histone methyl transferase enzyme. methylation of specific tail residue and degree of methylation on histone molecules leads to activation or inactivation of transcription. Most common methylated amino acids are lysine (K) and arginine (R) . most commonly observed methylation is on lysine residues of histone tails H3 and H4. Methylation of some histone leads to activation of transcription while some type of methylation lead to transcription repression.
For example methylation of H3K4, H3K48, and H3K79.- associated with activation of that gene
While H4K20 methylation lead to change in histone such a way that it bind to some repressor protein and interfere in binding of transcription factors thus repression of transcription.
B) in DNA methylation, methyl group is added in DNA bases and affect expression of gene by interfering binding of various factors to DNA . So this methylation alter the gene expression and has long term effects on gene expression .
C) in our body ,each cell has similar genome but there is tissue specific expression of gene occur.
Here 3 genes, each has specific role
Myosine -- role in muscle -- should be expressed in muscle not in brain or in liver
Neuropeptide -- play an important role in brain . Should be expressed in brain only not in liver or muscle
For DNA polymerase- involves in replication , as neurons are known as non dividing cells so DNA polymerase gene must be less expressed here. While muscle invovle in synthesis of muscle cells which are slowly dividing cells and liver cells are rapidally dividing cells so exist in open form.

Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes Part A -Modification of chromatin structure Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? Select all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generations of cells. DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form. O Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription. Deacetylation...

A genetically engineered plasmid Ficarries all of the elements of the lac operon, but replaces the structural genes with the reporter gene green fluorescent protein (GFP). The repressor allele cannot bind lactose, and the OC allele cannot be bound by the repressor.
