Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Genetic and epigenetic changes can be explained by DNA sequence.

Genetic changes are directly related to alterations in the DNA sequence itself, while epigenetic changes are often influenced by the DNA sequence through mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modification, which can regulate gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
