They only alter gene EXPRESSION. Epigenetic changes are of a non-permanent nature, not lasting over many generations.Vinod Wadhawanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806139017217746388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446617232754011315.post-57627166221215760892012-12-04T19:37:33.231+05:302012-12-04T19:37:33.231+05:30The important thing to remember is that epigenetic...The important thing to remember is that epigenetic changes do not alter the sequence of nucleotides along the DNA.Vinod Wadhawanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806139017217746388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446617232754011315.post-32832756510905887222012-12-04T17:05:47.004+05:302012-12-04T17:05:47.004+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Vinod Wadhawanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806139017217746388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7446617232754011315.post-57498502830639918082012-12-04T16:49:57.537+05:302012-12-04T16:49:57.537+05:30//Hormones are one example of what can influence g...//Hormones are one example of what can influence gene activity.<br /><br />Can chemicals other than hormones, for example those in the diet of an organism, also influence gene expression? The answer is 'Yes'. And not just food, but even the mental state of an creature can be responsible for the secretion of chemicals which can influence gene expression.//<br />That leaves a lot of room for Eugenics. Does it? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
