can change DNA sequences

Answer 1

Epigenetics and mutations are both mechanisms that can lead to changes in traits, but they operate in different ways. The key distinction in this context is that mutations **can change DNA sequences**, while epigenetic changes typically involve modifications that do not alter the underlying DNA sequence. Therefore, the correct response is:

**can change DNA sequences**.
