Epigenetics

Biologists use the term "epigenetics" to describe all processes that influence the genetic activity of an organism without changing the sequence of DNA building blocks. This occurs, for example, when the cell chemically modifies certain sections of the genetic material, thereby permanently or temporarily deactivating them. For example, although women have two X chromosomes in every cell of their body, one of them is so tightly packed that it does not become active.
