Epigenetics is the study of how DNA methylation and alterations to chromosomal proteins affect a gene or group of genes express themselves. For changes in a gene's expression, both of these are need.

In a biological process called DNA methylation, methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. A DNA segment's activity can be altered by methylation without the sequence changing. DNA methylation usually inhibits transcription of genes when it occurs in a gene promoter.

Epigenetics literally translates to "along with changes in genetic sequence." Any procedure that modifies gene activity without altering DNA sequence and results in modifications that can be passed on to daughter cells is now included in the term. Is called Epigenetics.

Receptors for hearing are located in the _______.
Inga [223]
Cochlea.

The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards.  <span>

These sound waves are then transduced when it reaches the cochlea where hair-like structures interprets the sensory information and is relayed to the brain.</span>
