Histone acetylation generally results in:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Chromatin relaxation and transcription
Histone acetylation neutralizes the positive charge on lysine residues, reducing histone-DNA interactions. This loosens chromatin structure (euchromatin) and promotes access by transcription factors, activating gene expression.
