Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The variation that does not involve a change in DNA sequence but can be passed from one generation to another is called an epigenetic phenomenon. Epigenetic changes can be inherited and affect the phenotype without altering the DNA sequence. Examples of epigenetic changes include DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA regulation.
