Epigenetic changes are generally (1 point)

Question

• not heritable genetic changes that are specific to an individual.
• heritable changes in genetic sequences of a population.
• not heritable changes in gene structure of a population.
• heritable "on/off switches" for gene sequences due to environmental factors.

Answer 1

The correct statement about epigenetic changes is:

• heritable "on/off switches" for gene sequences due to environmental factors.

Epigenetic changes refer to modifications that affect gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can be influenced by environmental factors and can be passed on to the next generation, affecting traits and characteristics.
