It has been demonstrated through studies on mammals that the the memories
of environmental impacts such as nutrition, weight, and stress may be
handed down from dads to children despite not being encoded in the DNA
sequences carried by sperm.
of environmental impacts such as nutrition, weight, and stress may be
handed down from dads to children despite not being encoded in the DNA
sequences carried by sperm.
Research scheduled for 2021 provides an explanation for how this is
feasible.
The concept of epigenetics plays a significant role in the plot. We don’t
know which molecules can carry the settings marked by a father’s life
experiences, to be incorporated into an embryo via sperm until 2021.
Molecules that attach themselves to DNA can behave like on-off switches
that govern which regions of DNA get used.
