The most accurate response regarding epigenetic changes is:
**heritable "on/off switches" for gene sequences due to environmental factors.**
Epigenetic changes can affect how genes are expressed without altering the underlying DNA sequence, and some of these changes can be passed on to subsequent generations.
**heritable "on/off switches" for gene sequences due to environmental factors.**
