Explain how gene expression is regulated by changes made to chromatin and DNA.
DNA is packed with proteins which are called histone and DNA-histone complex is known as chromatin. When chromatin remains in condensed form, DNA becomes less available to the enzymes of trancription and gene expressionl Whereas, several regulators perform modifications in chromatin structure like histone acetalytion, methylation causes chnages in the chromatin structure. When chromatin structure becomes loosens it allows transcripton factors to access the DNA inside and increase the gene expresson,
