Eukaryotic DNA is highly methylated at the C-5 position of cytosine. The degree of methylation is inversely correlated with gene expression.

Eukaryotic DNA is highly methylated at the C-5 position of cytosine. The degree of methylation is inversely correlated with gene expression. Although the exact role of C-5 methylation in gene expression is not known, it is known that these C-5-methylated cytosines are a source of mutations. Explain why this is a cause of mutations.
