Epigenetics refers to a special kind of hereditary mechanism. Epigenetic changes do not change the DNA nucleotide sequence, yet

their effect on gene expression can last for several generations. In one surprising study, it was found that the grandsons of men who suffered a famine were less likely to die of cardiovascular disease. The experience of famine made some cardio-protective change in the sperm of those grandfathers that was passed on. What type of change was likely responsible?

Answer:

Histone acetylation or DNA methylation.

Explanation:

The epigenetics may be defined as the genetic phenomena that might cause mutation in the organism's genome. The DNA sequence of the organisms do not get changed in epigenetics.

This phenomena is limited whether the gene is herited from the mother ot the father. The phenomena like acetylation of histones increase the gene expression. The DNA methylation and histone deacetylation at specific residues reduces the gene expression.

Thus, the answer is histone acetylation or DNA methylation.

In your own words, justify the statement, “oceanic conditions determine human activities
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The statement "oceanic conditions determine human activities" may be interpreted in many ways. 

1. Oceanic conditions determine human activities in that the moon cycle influences the tide. As the moon cycle is said to greatly influence human activity, and the tide changes as the moon does, it may also be concluded that the tides have a similar influence on human activity. 

2. Weather conditions may also influence oceanic conditions.

   a) Hurricanes and typhoons occur in the ocean and if they make landfall, humans are sometimes required to evacuate the location they will affect. The process of evacuation, and the reparations necessary to human civilization afterward, are both examples of oceanic conditions being influential to human activity. 

   b) Flooding and tsunamis may also result in evacuation, and damage to human civilization.

   c) Global warming, which is resulting in the melting of the polar ice caps, contributes to rising sea levels. Rising sea levels are also oceanic conditions that may affect human civilization in the forms of flooding, erosion, and the ocean expanding, and also determine human activities.
