The allele inducing the change is said to be paramutagenic, while the allele that has been epigenetically altered is termed paramutable.
2.
In the case of the " r1 " locus in maize, DNA methylation of a region of tandem repeats near the coding region of the gene is characteristic of the paramutagenic B allele, and when the paramutable B-I allele becomes paramutagenic, it too takes on the same DNA methylation pattern.
