Example of Epigenetics in Identical Twins
Two genetically identical mice are raised in different environments. Mouse A is raised in a standard, quiet cage. Mouse B is raised in an 'enriched' environment with toys, social interaction, and regular exercise. As adults, Mouse B shows significantly lower levels of anxiety-related behaviors and better memory performance than Mouse A, despite having the exact same DNA sequence. Which of the following principles best explains this difference in outcomes?
