Answer:
Position Effect
Explanation:
Position effect is referred to the effect on gene expression when the gene is translocated from the location it is on a chromosome to another location.
As it relates to gene silencing and euchromatic gene repositioning, Position effect variegation best explains it.
Position effect variegation occurs when a gene in some cells is silenced as a result Β of rearrangement of chromosomes which translocate or reposition euchromatic genes close to vicinity of heterochomatin. It is this abnormal chromosomal juxtaposition that leads to the gene silencing in stochastic pattern.
