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.

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.

Thermoplastic is known to be a plastic material with a polymer that can be molded above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Thermoplastics can be remelted or reshaped by heating and they have low melting points. Furthermore, they usually have high concentration of polymers with amorphous structures, the material will have a poor resistance to loads but it will have an excellent elasticity.
