Hello young biologists! Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of epigenetics. This stuff isn't just some boring DNA lecture; it's how your genes wear tiny "accessories" that help them function! 🎩📿 So let's get started!
Epigenetic Tags
Epigenome
🤩 Real-world Example 🤩 Think of an Instagram filter. The original picture is your DNA. The filter you apply changes how the picture (gene expression) appears, but it doesn't change the original picture itself!
🍕 Real-world Example 🍕 Imagine a pizza place. The cashier, the chef, and the delivery guy all have specific jobs, just like your cells. If the pizza place expands (cells divide), the new employees inherit the job-specific guidelines from the old ones. No newbie starts making pizzas at the cash register!
