Epigenetics of plant growth and development. Plants depend on epigenetic processes for proper function. Epigenetics is defined as "the study of changes in gene function that are mitotically and/or meiotically heritable and that do not entail a change in DNA sequence" (Wu et al. 2001). The area of study examines protein interactions with DNA and ...
Epigenetic mechanisms. In biology, epigenetics is the study of heritable traits, or a stable change of cell function, that happen without changes to the DNA sequence. [ 1] The Greek prefix epi- ( ἐπι- "over, outside of, around") in epigenetics implies features that are "on top of" or "in addition to" the traditional (DNA sequence based ...

Lamarckism. Lamarck argued, as part of his theory of heredity, that a blacksmith 's sons inherit the strong muscles he acquires from his work. [ 1] Lamarckism, also known as Lamarckian inheritance or neo-Lamarckism, [ 2] is the notion that an organism can pass on to its offspring physical characteristics that the parent organism acquired ...
Evolutionary developmental biology. Homologous hox genes in such different animals as insects and vertebrates control embryonic development and hence the form of adult bodies. These genes have been highly conserved through hundreds of millions of years of evolution. Evolutionary developmental biology (informally, evo-devo) is a field of ...
The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis ( EES) consists of a set of theoretical concepts argued to be more comprehensive than the earlier modern synthesis of evolutionary biology that took place between 1918 and 1942. The extended evolutionary synthesis was called for in the 1950s by C. H. Waddington, argued for on the basis of punctuated ...
Solution-focused ( brief) therapy ( SFBT) [ 1][ 2] is a goal-directed collaborative approach to psychotherapeutic change that is conducted through direct observation of clients' responses to a series of precisely constructed questions. [ 3] Based upon social constructivist thinking and Wittgensteinian philosophy, [ 3] SFBT focuses on addressing ...
