12. An analysis of chromatin structure reveals that transcriptionally active regions exhibit an open, loosely packed conformation designated as

A. Heterochromatin
B. Euchromatin
✓
C. Solenoid arrays
D. Centromeric cores

📝 Explanation

Euchromatin is the transcriptionally active, loosely organized chromatin form that allows RNA polymerase complexes to access structural gene sequences. Heterochromatin represents tightly packed, silent regions.
