I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Epigenetic changes can be heritable, but they are not changes in the actual genetic sequence. They involve modifications to the structure of DNA or the proteins associated with DNA, which can affect gene expression without altering the underlying genetic code. Thank you for pointing out the error.
