Question

environmental genetic variation quick check
epigenetics are different than mutations in that mutations: (1 point)
○ can change dna sequences
○ can change traits
○ cannot be inherited
○ can be inherited

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Epigenetics involves changes that do not alter the DNA sequence itself (like DNA methylation, histone modification etc.), while mutations directly change the DNA sequence. Both epigenetics - related changes and mutations can influence traits. Epigenetic changes can sometimes be reversible and have complex inheritance patterns, while mutations (if they occur in germ - cells) can be inherited. But the key difference between epigenetics and mutations in the context of this question is about the DNA sequence.

Answer:

can change DNA sequences
