Summary Introduction

To explain:

How is paramutation is similar to normal gene mutation.

Introduction:

Parmutation is the interaction between two alleles that causes an epigenetic change in the expression of one of the alleles. These paramutagenic changes often caused due to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation and histone modification. While, normal gene mutation involves the permanent alteration of the DNA base sequence that makes up a gene.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

How is paramutation is differ to normal gene mutation.

Introduction:

Normal gene mutation involves the permanent alteration of the DNA base sequence that makes up a gene. Parmutation is the interaction between two alleles that causes an epigenetic change in the expression of one of the alleles.

Summary Introduction

To enlist:

The similarities and differences between paramutation and a normal gene mutation.

Introduction:

The mutation within a gene is called the gene mutation in which the sequences of the nucleotides are altered permanently. While, paramutation involves the interaction between the two alleles that causes an epigenetic change in the expression of one of the alleles.
