Full Description
This exam examines the role of epigenetics in insect adaptation, focusing on how environmental factors can induce heritable changes in gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
The understanding of epigenetic mechanisms is crucial for comprehending how insects adapt to changing environments. This field has significant implications for pest management strategies and ecological resilience.
Students will demonstrate their verbal understanding of epigenetic principles as they relate to insect adaptation, focusing on the mechanisms and examples of epigenetic modifications in response to environmental stresses.
The assessment may also include discussions around future research directions in epigenetics within entomology.
Sample Questions
- What role does epigenetics play in insect adaptation to environmental changes?
- How can epigenetic modifications be inherited across generations in insects?
