B
Key Concept
DNA methylation
Explanation
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that involves the addition of a methyl group to the DNA molecule, typically at the 5' position of a cytosine ring. This modification can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence and often results in the repression of gene expression.
