What's the difference between epigenetics and Lamarckism?
Could you give me an example of epigenetics in action?
Sure, a classic example is the study of identical twins, who have the same DNA sequence but can have different epigenetic marks due to environmental factors. This can lead to differences in gene expression and phenotypic differences between the twins. Another example is the effect of stress on gene expression and the heritability of stress response.
