RE: Is your personality a result of grandma's lousy childhood?

Nice work. Epigenetics is a very complex topic and you do a great job at explaining how environmental factors can affect our genomes. The Agouti Yellow mice example you give is a perfect illustration of how it can happen. The further examples showing that that epigenetic elements can be genetically inherited are really cool and actually show that Lamarckian inheritance can occur which is amazing.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks @tking77798 for the high commendation, and for reading.

I am glad you think i managed to write this out just fine, despite the complicated subject i handed.

The challenge in writing on such subjects is to simplify the complication, without making trifling it so much. Just know it took me a couple of day, but i am glad it proved worthwhile.
