Answer 1

Epigenetic changes are generally described as **heritable "on/off switches" for gene sequences due to environmental factors.** This option captures the essence of how epigenetic modifications can influence gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence, and how some of these changes can be passed from one generation to the next.
