Epigenetics are different than mutations in that mutations: (1 point)

Question

• can change traits
• cannot be inherited
• can change DNA sequences
• can be inherited

Answer 1

The correct answer is: can change DNA sequences.

Mutations involve changes to the DNA sequence itself, whereas epigenetics typically involve changes in gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Both can affect traits and can be inherited, but the primary distinction is that mutations change the actual DNA.
