Correct answer: "Epigenetic changes cannot be explained by DNA sequence, but genetic changes can."
Explanation: Genetic changes are alterations in the DNA sequence itself (mutations), so they are explained by sequence changes. Epigenetic changes modify gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modification).
