Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epigenetic changes refer to modifications in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence. These changes can be passed down to the next generation of cells, but they do not alter the DNA sequence itself. Examples of epigenetic changes include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNA regulation.
