Lamarck is remembered for his theory of inheritance which hypothesized that physical characteristics acquired during an individuals lifetime were passed onto their offspring (long neck in giraffes). How does this differ from epigenetic inheritance where the diet of the agouti/diabetic mother affects coat color and body size of the offspring (born brown and slim)? O The change in coat color occurs in the offspring and not in the mother O Diet has no impact on fur color, but it can effect body size O There is no difference between Lamarckian theories of inhertiance and epigenetic inheritance O Many genes are involved in determining fur color and body size, making it unlikely that DNA methylation can cause a persistent change in fur color and body size

Define the term epigenetic inheritance, and describe twoexamples
Based on what you have learned from the previous topics (CentralDogma: Transcription and Translation) and epigenetics, does epigenetics agree orrun counter (contradict) to the traditional genetic basis of inheritance or the centraldogma of biology?
Epigenetics has been described as “inheritance, but not as we know it.” Do you think this is a good definition? Why or why not?
does epigenetics agree or run counter (contradict) to the traditional genetic basis of inheritance or the centraldogma of biology? explain and give your points.
Explain, at the molecular level, why human genetic diseases oftenfollow a simple Mendelian pattern of inheritance, whereas mostnormal traits, such as the shape of your nose or the size of yourhead, are governed by multiple gene interactions.
Describe what is meant by epigenetic inheritance, and explain its significance.
What role does epigenetics play in inheritance?
What degree of differences would you expect to see in the DNA base sequences and epigenetic marks of monozygotic twins? a. Similar differences in DNA base sequence and epigenetic marks b. Greater differences in DNA base sequence than epigenetic marks c. Greater differences in epigenetic marks than DNA base sequence d. No differences in either DNA base sequence or epigenetic marks
Epigenetics addresses a) the mechanism by which the environment alters a person’s genotype. b) the mechanism by which gene can code for more than one protein. c) the mechanisms that can alter gene expression. d) heritability patterns based on dominant and recessive alleles.
Define about epigenetic inheritance ?
For Mendelian inheritance, the nuclear genotype (i.e., the allelesfound on chromosomes in the cell nucleus) directly influences anoffspring’s traits. In contrast, for non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, the offspring’s phenotype cannot be reliably predicted solelyfrom its genotype. For the following traits, what do you need toknow to predict the phenotypic outcome?A. Dwarfism due to a mutant Igf2 alleleB. Snail coiling directionC. Leber hereditary optic neuropathy
. The production of pigment in the outer layer of seedsof corn requires each of the three independently assorting genes A, C, and R to be represented by at leastone dominant allele, as specified in Problem 64. Thedominant allele Pr of a fourth independently assortinggene is required to convert the biochemical precursorinto a purple pigment, and its recessive allele pr makesthe pigment red. Plants that do not produce pigmenthave yellow seeds. Consider a cross of a strain of genotype A/A ; C/C ; R/R ; pr/pr with a strain of genotypea/a ; c/c ; r/r ; Pr/Pr.a. What are the phenotypes of the parents?b. What will be the phenotype of the F1?c. What phenotypes, and in what proportions, willappear in the progeny of a selfed F1?d. What progeny proportions do you predict from thetestcross of an F1?
