Imagine you are a researcher assessing DNA methylation patterns of genes important for physiological stress responses You discover that the promoter region of a gene known as NR3C1 highly methylated in those who experienced early life stress Based on this information what do you predict O Expression of the Nr3C1 gene is likely promoted unless the histones are also acetylated O Expression of the NR3C1 gene is likely unaffected by DNA methylation altogether Expression of the NR3C1 gene is likely repressed and or very low in these individuals O Expression of the NR3C1 gene is likely promoted and or very high in these individuals
