Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

Epigenetic alterations are modifications of the genome transmitted during cell division, which do not involve changes in the DNA sequence, are hereditary and are capable of modifying gene expression. In addition, they are temporary modifications that allow DNA to be transcribed and have the ability to move histones to open or close a chromosomal region. There are three main mechanisms of epigenetic alterations: DNA methylation, histone modifications and genomic imprinting.

When you are cold, your muscles begin to contract involuntarily and cause you to shiver. why do you think this occurs? how does
DanielleElmas [232]
Shivering occurs when the core temperature of the body begins to decrease which would threaten normal body function. Shivering is a response by the body to bring back temperature back to homeostasis. Trembling is the continual involuntary contraction of muscles. Muscle activity releases heat that warms up the body. This is the reason why we sweat during physical activities as the body sheds excess heat generated by the muscles in order to maintain the homeostatic body temperatures of 37 degrees centigrade.

Liula [17]
The probability of transmitting both traits to his son is Zero. This is because the son has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XX), therefore since the traits are linked to the X chromosomes, it means the son will only be a carrier but will not show the trait phenotypically.
