A)The expression pattern is transmitted to future generations.
B)The altered allele is able to convert other alleles.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paramutation involves the heritable change in expression pattern of a gene without alteration of the DNA sequence. It is not dependent on the generation of new alleles through mutation of coding sequences. However, all of the other choices are defining features of paramutation.
