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).
