Epigenetics and mutations are both mechanisms that can lead to changes in traits, but they operate in different ways. The key distinction in this context is that mutations can change DNA sequences, while epigenetic changes typically involve modifications that do not alter the underlying DNA sequence. Therefore, the correct response is:

can change DNA sequences.
