Question
- Which of the following is not an example of epigenetic inheritance?1 pointDifferentiation of cellsInheritance of ABO blood typeInactivation of the X chromosomeExpression of genes in a parent-of-origin-specific manner
Solution
The inheritance of ABO blood type is not an example of epigenetic inheritance. This is because ABO blood type is determined by the genes you inherit from your parents, not by changes in gene expression or modifications to the DNA sequence, which are the basis of epigenetic inheritance.
