Difference between Epigenetics and Mutation

Epigenetics vs. Mutation

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Similarities between Epigenetics and Mutation

Epigenetics and Mutation have 35 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adenine, Carcinogenesis, Cell division, Chromosome, Cytosine, DNA, DNA damage (naturally occurring), DNA repair, DNA replication, Embryology, Escherichia coli, Evolution, Gene, Gene expression, Genetic code, Genome, Germ cell, Lamarckism, Lysine, Meiosis, Messenger RNA, Modern synthesis (20th century), Multicellular organism, Natural selection, Nonsense mutation, P53, Phenotype, Prion, Promoter (genetics), Protein, ..., RNA, Transposable element, Yeast, Zygosity, 5-Methylcytosine.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

DNA replication

In molecular biology, DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Embryology

Embryology (from Greek ἔμβρυον, embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes (sex cells), fertilization, and development of embryos and fetuses.

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.

Meiosis

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Messenger RNA

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.

Nonsense mutation

In genetics, a point-nonsense mutation is a point mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a premature stop codon, or a point-nonsense codon in the transcribed mRNA, and in a truncated, incomplete, and usually nonfunctional protein product.
