Document Summary
Introduction: epigenetics in mammalian development that determines who you are. Has been intriguing in the popular press because suggests that it"s not just your genetic makeup. Idea that you have genes that are key for determining your phenotype, but then the environment also influences what your genes do to determine this phenotype. This kind of definition could encompass almost anything related to gene. Definition: regulation , which can be thought of as quite a general phenomenon. genetic mechanisms of heritability. Takes into account the concept of stability : epigenetics can act to complement get the stable propagation of a phenotype without a change in. Can have instances where the environment influences the regulation of your genes, and this change can be maintained. Stable means the change is maintained (over time, maintained through cell. Epigenetics is meant to explain these types of changes in phenotype which are.
