Anyone here study biology?

Did he have any interesting comments to add?

genes can influence the genotype but the way in which they are regulated via methylation or histone modification can be affected by previous generations (mostly the mother) and what the offspring experience in their lifetime

this is sort of a neo-lamarckian view on the matter it's not as far fetched as when they said that a horse stretches his neck and all his children are now giraffes

but yeah transgenerational epigenetics are awesome I'm trying to do something with my mealybugs by looking at the gene expression of nymphs and how its affected by the mother being switched from one host to another without the children experiencing an actual switch

Sorry meant phenotype
