The major mechanisms of epigenetic genome modification are DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA-associated gene silencing.

DNA methylation is the process in which there is  an addition of methyl groups to the DNA molecule. When there is the presence of methyl groups on a gene , it is turned off. Thus, no protein formation takes place from that gene.

Histone modification is the process in which histone proteins, can be modified by the addition or removal of methyl or acetyl groups. DNA is wrapped around histone proteins, and histone proteins can be modified by the addition or removal of methyl or acetyl groups. Due to these modifications. it affects how tightly DNA is wrapped around histones and genes can be turned off and on.

Non -coding RNAs control gene expression by sequence specific interactions with regulatory regions.

Gre4nikov [31]

I like how the cheetah has a really pretty coat of spots and speckled with really makes it stand out and look different. I also like that the cheetah is lightning fast, but it's sad it can only run 60-70 miles per hour for a short period of time. I Also like that cheetahs can be in zoos and also can be trained, petted, and can also (rarely) have babies. Cheetahs need to be saved because they are starting to get really rare and endangered.

Which animal from a eusocial society
bearhunter [10]
The term "eusocial" was introduced in 1966 by Suzanne Batra, who used it to describe nesting behavior in Halictine bees. Batra observed the cooperative behavior of the bees, males and females alike, as they took responsibility for at least one duty (i.e., burrowing, cell construction, oviposition) within the colony
