Heritable “on/off switches” for gene sequences due to environmental factors

1 answer

The correct response is:

Heritable “on/off switches” for gene sequences due to environmental factors.

DNA methylation and histone acetylation are epigenetic modifications that can be influenced by environmental factors and can be passed down to offspring, affecting gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
