Question

Which of the following is an accurate statement? a. Epigenetic tags are formed in the early life span, but deteriorate in old age. b. Epigenetic tags replace internal signals in driving physical growth after birth. c. Epigenetic tags continue to accumulate in response to ongoing experience throughout the life span. d.

Answer 1

Option C  is the correct answer.

Epigenetic tags continue to accumulate in response to ongoing experience throughout the life span.

Epigenetic tags refers to the external modifications to DNA which can turn on and turn off the genes. Though these modifications do not change the DNA sequence but they affect how a cell reads the genes.
