Also proteins can bind to DNA and methylated DNA to modify the course of gene expression in daughter cells. Such chemical modifications to the DNA which modify gene transcription are examples of epigenetic changes in the DNA.
Thomas Jefferson was President when his Vice-President, Aaron Burr, shot Alexander Hamilton in a duel on July 11, 1804, in Weehawken, New Jersey. Hamilton didn't die during thâ¦e duel, but succumbed to his injuries the next day.

Before the 1804 election, Alexander Hamilton threatened to withdraw from the Federalist Party if it chose Vice President Aaron Burr as its presidential candidate. When Aaron Burr later ran for governor of New York, Alexander Hamiltonâs influence again led to his defeat. Hamilton considered Burr a political opportunist, declaring: âI feel it is a religious duty to oppose his career.â Aaron Burr took offense and challenged Hamilton to a duel.

Burr shot and mortally wounding Hamilton in the stomach. The duel ended Burrâs career and ended Hamiltonâs life.
