5. For a cell to make proteins, enzymes must access its genes. When histones are modified with acetyl groups (-COCH3 ), their positive charge is neutralized, so they wrap DNA less tightly. How might this affect the rate of protein synthesis?

The rate of protein synthesis will be slower as a result of the positive

charge being neutralized.

What is Protein synthesis?

Protein synthesis involves the process of formation of protein and is usually

carried out in the nucleus of cells. Chromosomes being predominantly

negatively charged aids the ability to attract and access the genes for

synthesis to occur.

The modification of the charge will make it harder for the enzyme to access

the gene thereby reducing the rate of  protein synthesis.
