why do identical twin become more differnet as they get older
Definition
as yrs pass epigeneticgenes changemore and begin to accumulate
Term
how didthe behavoir in themother rat effect the expression of genes in thebaby rat
Definition
if the mother licked the mouse it was regular butid mother ignored mouse the mouse had problems like hight blood pressure and stress levels
Term
when scientist removedthe methel group from the rats dna what happened

the rat responed to stress and acted differnetly
Term

why do we get older indtead ofliving forever and why is it good
