Question 1

Short answer

What is epigenetics?

Question 2

Short answer

How does gene expression lead to cell differentiation and cell specialization?

Question 3

Short answer

What role do environmental factors play in cell differentiation?

Question 4

Short answer

Explain how the analogy of the genome as a library helps describe the process of gene expression in cell specialization.

Question 5

Short answer

Describe how drugs that alter gene expression can both positively and negatively influence cell differentiation.
