Created from Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k50yMwEOWGUvideoConcepts covered:epigenetics, genetic expression, environmental influence, maternal behavior, identical twins
The video explores the concept of epigenetics, illustrating how both genetic makeup and environmental factors influence individual development, as demonstrated through the example of identical twins raised in different environments. It highlights research on rats showing that maternal behavior can alter genetic expression, suggesting that lifestyle and environmental influences can similarly impact human biology at the DNA level.
