from your father.” (Nordqvist‚ 2008) Genes are essential to the function of the human body. They determine how the body functions and how it responds to various stimuli. The latter are internal and external factors. Internal factors include genetic coding and base pairing‚ and external factors are ones based on the environment.

Epigenome controls the genetics of the body by determining how cells differ from one another. The cells in our body all have the same genes‚ but it’s the epigenome that differentiate the cells to become skin cells‚ nose cells‚ liver cells‚ and heart cells. Skin cells are different from nose cells because the certain set of genes are turned off by the epigenome to express what that cell will become. For example in the video the fat mice with yellow coat have the agouti gene. When the mother is given
