Question
Chapter 4.4, Problem 15AYLO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason why both the genetic and epigenetic changes affect heredity and health.
Introduction:
Gene is a physical and functional unit of heredity. It is made up of DNA in most living organisms. Genes carry genetic information from generation to generation and instruct the cells to synthesize functional and structural proteins. In contrast, epigenetics deals with understanding how the environment and behavior of an organism alter the expression of its genes.
