Let me summarize
the main points of it to you.
Firstly, according to the text Epigenetics is the study of how behaviors and environment can
affect the way genes work, so they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence.
Secondy, Gene expression is the process of creating proteins from instructions within genes,
while epigenetic changes affect gene expression to turn genes "on" and "off". Environmental
factors such as diet and exercise can also affect gene expression, making it important to
understand the connection between genes and behaviors and environment.
Finally, it is considered that Epigenetic changes begin before birth and determine which
function a cell will have such as heart, nerve or skin.
