Students,

You’ll discuss the importance of both nature and nurture in

your posts about the twins. Take a look at the link below. In the article, the

author talks about changes in what is known as the epigenome, which has to do

with chemical changes on a person’s genome after that person is conceived.

These “epigenentic marks” can change as people get older and can also

change as a cause of their environment. How could this explain differences

between identical twins? When thinking about differences as a cause of the

epigenome, are they caused by the environment or biology? Or both at once? What

do you think of the concept that environmental factors can actually play a part

in altering our genome, which houses all of our hereditary information?
