DNA methylation, histone alterations, and non-coding RNA pathways are examples of epigenetic mechanisms.

In conclusion, epigenetics is the fusion of genetics and environment.

The convection that causes Earth's magnetic field happens in Earth's _____.
adelina 88 [10]
The answer is the outer core. 

The outer core of the Earth is made up of liquid metal. The liquid in the outer core pass through the magnetic field and this causes the flow of electric current with in it. The magnetic field gets stronger as the liquid metal passes through it. What makes the liquid metal move is the inner core. It heats up the outer core which triggers convection.
