Epigenetics

The examination of variations in living entities resulting from changes in how genes are expressed, without any modifications to the DNA sequence.

Gene Expression

The process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products like proteins, influencing an organism's structure and function.

Genetics

The branch of biology that studies the inheritance of physical and behavioral traits from parents to offspring through the transmission of genes.
