Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heredity refers to the process of genetic transfer from parents to their offspring. Epigenetics refers to the study of changes in gene expression that can be inherited but are not directly caused by changes in the DNA sequence. Shared family environments and behavior genetics are related concepts, but they do not specifically refer to the genetic transfer of characteristics from parents to offspring.
