Classically, nature and nurture have been considered as two very separate factors impacting phenotype. Considering
what we have learned of methylation, is this always the case? What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Methylation provides an interesting combination of nature and nurture. On one hand,
methylation is clearly impacted both positively and negatively by what the individual
experiences, making it nurture. However, those methylation patterns can be passed through
multiple generations and impact them, making it nature.
