Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heritable changes in gene expression not due to changes in DNA sequences is the definition of epigenetics. Methylation is a type of epigenetic modification, but it alone does not encompass all aspects of epigenetics. Translational mutation, differentiation, and frameshift inheritance are not related to epigenetics.
