Which of the following is NOT an example of epigenetics?
A)Independent assortment of alleles
B)Genomic imprinting
C)Creation of iPSCs
D)Paramutation
E)X inactivation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Independent assortment of alleles is a principle of Mendelian genetics, which refers to the random segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. It is not a mechanism of epigenetics, which involves changes in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. The other choices (B, C, D, E) all involve epigenetic mechanisms, such as the modification of DNA or histone proteins or the inheritance of epigenetic marks from one generation to the next.
