Q. Which is the transcriptionally inactive chromatin?

Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

• In a typical nucleus, some region of chromatin are loosely packed (and stains light) and are referred to as euchromatin
• The chromatin that is more densely packed and stains dark are called as Heterochromatin
• Euchromatin is said to be transcriptionally active chromatin, whereas heterochromatin is inactive
