During DNA replication....?

A) methylated DNA is copied in the cytoplasm, and unmethylated DNA in the nucleus.


B) all methylation of the DNA is lost.


C) methylation of the DNA is maintained because methylation enzymes act at DNA sites where one strand is already methylated and thus correctly methylates daughter strands after replication.


D) DNA polymerase is blocked by methyl groups, and methylated regions of the genome are therefore left uncopied.


E) methylation of the DNA is maintained because DNA polymerase directly incorporates methylated nucleotides into the new strand opposite any methylated nucleotides in the template.
