Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in the expression of genes without changes in the gene sequence. This field explores modifications to DNA and proteins that can be passed down through generations and affect gene expression, without altering the underlying DNA sequence itself. Molecular biology, genetic engineering, and molecular cloning all involve manipulation of gene sequences or their expression, but do not specifically focus on epigenetic modifications.
