What's the difference between epigenetics and Lamarckism?
I'm interested in learning more about the difference between epigenetics and Lamarckism. Can you explain that to me?
Sure, I'd be happy to. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression that occur due to environmental factors, without changes to the underlying DNA sequence. Lamarckism, on the other hand, is the idea that acquired traits can be passed down from generation to generation. Does that answer your question?
