Study Shows Longevity Factors can be Passed Separate from DNA’s Direct Influence
Geneticists at Stanford University recently published the results of an experiment demonstrating that acquired traits can be passed along to offspring. Scientists had previously rejected the notion that offspring could inherit characteristics that a parent organism developed during their lifetime. The Stanford scientists demonstrate that an organism’s behavior and environment are factors that do influence the genes it passes along to offspring. The Stanford epigenetics study focused on...
