Transcriptionally inactive regions of the genome are typically heavily methylated. true or false?

The answer is true.

DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA, more precisely to its nucleotides adenine or cytosine (they are methylated) via enzymes called DNA methyltransferases. This process as a result can change the activity of a DNA. For example, if DNA of gene promoter is methylated gene transcription is repressed. The opposite process is DNA demethylation.

So, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism meaning that gene activity can be changed and inherited that way, but the sequence  of DNA remains the same.

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (light);

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
