Changes in the environment can affect how our genes are expressed, leading to long-term impacts for ourselves and our offspring. Scientists are using epigenetics to understand how lifestyle and environment affect our health and wellbeing.

Epigenetics plays a role in the development of certain diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Epigenetics determines which of your genes are expressed and which are not - this can affect your physical appearance. Epigenetics can be passed down from parents to their children, leading to heritable changes in the offspring. Have you ever heard of Generational Trauma?

Question: You are two scientists who are tasked with discovering how epigenetics affects a specific species. How do you go about finding the answer? Clues: • Research the species' genetic structure to identify potential epigenetic factors. • Observe the species in its natural environment to identify environmental triggers for epigenetic changes. • Experiment with the species in a controlled environment to test for epigenetic changes. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Develop a research plan to explore the effects of epigenetics on the species. B. Design and conduct an experiment to test the effects of epigenetics on the species.
