Modifications to chromatin can affect transcriptional activity by changing the accessibility of DNA to the transcription machinery. The given descriptions are examples of various processes that may or may not cause remodeling of chromatin. Match each description to the effect it has on transcriptional activity caused by chromatin remodeling. Activates Inactivates Activates and inactivates No effect

Answer Bank Histone acetyltransferases attach acetyl groups to the N-terminus of histones.
◻
Histone deacetylases remove acetyl groups from the N-terminus of histones. A transcriptional activator binds an enhancer sequence.
