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.

what is the subdivision of the peripheral nervous system that connects to sensory receptors and to skeletal muscles called
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The somatic nervous system

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system is categorized into two types: the autonomic and somatic nervous system.

The somatic nervous system controls the voluntary actions of the boys so is also known as the voluntary nervous system and the voluntary system involves the skeletal muscles therefore is also known as the skeletal nervous system.

The skeletal nervous system contains two types of neurons called the afferent neurons which carries the sensory input from the muscle to the CNS ans the efferent neurons which brings the impulse from the CNS to the muscles.

Thus, the somatic nervous system is the correct answer.
