Answer: epigenetic mechanisms

Explanation: Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that occur without any accompanying changes to the basic DNA sequence, which ultimately results in a change in the observable characteristics (phenotype) without a change in the genotype(genetic traits).

Epigenetics creates a layer of control that determines which genes are active and which genes are dormant in particular cells in the body, and can be influenced by certain factors like age and environment.

The difference in genetic expression between Jenn and Clara could be attributed to Jenn's abuse when she was 8years old and this may have triggered Jenn's schizophrenia.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Poverty and wealth are often found side by side. They are two dimensions in our world that are interrelated because they affect each other and influence both the willingness and capacity of states to ensure a stable global system. Traditional approaches to IR are premised on the notion of state sovereignty. But, sovereignty as an absolute concept that reinforces separation between states has been tempered through the many processes of globalisation, including economic agreements and the establishment of international organisations, as well as with the emergence of human rights thinking as captured through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With respect to the emergence of human rights thinking, the premise goes that in the context of a common set of universal rights based on the individual, the sovereignty of the state can be challenged if a government does not respect or maintain these rights. Here, sovereignty means that a state does not only maintain rights, it also meets its responsibilities. Poor people are cheated out of their savings and the rich flaunt their money like it's honest and hard worked generated money.
