Question
Acetylation is one method eukaryotes use to control the transcription of specific genes. Acetylation is thought to__________.
alter the charge on the histone tail, allowing it to bind the DNA more tightly.
lead to degradation of the histone.
change the DNA nucleotide sequence to create a functional promoter site
alter the charge of the histone tail, allowing it to bind more loosely.
increase the size of the histone, shifting the sites for histone / DNA interaction.
a.alter the charge on the histone tail, allowing it to bind the DNA more tightly.

Hi Answer:
Q. Acetylation is one method eukaryotes use to control the transcription of specific genes. Acetylation is thought to...................
Answer: Option D. [alter the charge of the histone tail, allowing it to bind more loosely]
Explanation: It is the process of addition of acetyl group. This addition works as a neutralizer and neutralizes the charge on the tails of histones which causing the DNA to become more loosely associated with it.
