environmental influences on gene expression
Environmental influences on gene expression refer to external factors that can impact the way genes are activated or expressed in an organism, such as diet, stress, pollution, or exposure to specific chemicals. These factors can alter the functioning of genes, leading to changes in the production of proteins and ultimately affecting an organism's traits or behaviors.
