1. Compare and contrast genetics and epigenetics.
Genetics are something that is sex linked and passed down from both parents. eye color, hair color, height and weight are all genetic.
Epigenetics are certain sequences of your DNA that can be turned on or off. Autism is epigenetic, so there is no way to get it from your mom or dad. If you are unlucky and get that certain sequence turned on or off, you could get a disease or have different behavior than if everything was just genetic.
