Cytosine base methylation at a promoter typically [blank1] transcription of the corresponding gene. These methylation patterns are often [blank2] during mitosis.

You are studying a microRNA, miRNA1, and decide to PCR amplify its entire coding region and add it to the multiple cloning site (MCS) of the plasmid shown below (the intended “insert”). miRNA1 is 22 nucleotides in length. After attempting your cloning reaction, you transform the plasmid into bacteria and grow the bacteria with both X-Gal and IPTG on their growth medium. Select all correct results you should expect when attempting this cloning procedure. -The MCS is a cluster of restriction endonuclease cut sites used to add DNA to the plasmid via restriction-ligation cloning). -“lacZ” indicates a functional lacZ gene with the normal promoter and operator from the lac operon. This gene is functional with a small MCS added to it in-frame (as shown above), but any frameshift OR the addition of >200 bp of DNA within the MCS abolishes lacZ function. -X-Gal is a substrate of the lacZ gene product that turns bacteria from colorless/white to blue when it is metabolized. -IPTG is an allolactose analog that prevents LacI from binding the lac operator. -Ampicillin is a commonly used antibiotic that kills all bacteria that do not express an AmpR resistance gene (which is also found on the plasmid).
