We Finally Know How Sperm ‘Remember’ And Pass on Non-DNA-Coded Traits to Embryos – ScienceAlert
Studies in mammals have shown that the ‘memories’ of various environmental effects – such as diet, weight, and stress – are being passed on from dads to offspring,…
Studies in mammals have shown that the ‘memories’ of various environmental effects such as diet, weight, and stress are being passed on from dads to offspring, despite these states not being coded for in the DNA sequences carried by sperm. Now, we have a new explanation for how it’s possible.
