Examples of epigenesis
epigenesis
A theory of the epigenesis of neural networks by selective stabilization of synapses.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Evolutionary epigenetics can be divided into predetermined and probabilistic epigenesis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
According to epigenesis, the form of an animal emerges gradually from a relatively formless egg.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Because of technological limitations, there was no available mechanical explanation for epigenesis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This is a quote I use in the classroom when I try to explain to them how epigenesis works, in contrast to preformation.
From the scienceblogs.com
When epigenesis becomes inactive, in the individual or even in a race, evolution ceases and degeneration commences.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Child abuse or poverty can also alter which genes are active in the developing brain through a process called epigenesis.
From the newscientist.com
The competing explanation of embryonic development was epigenesis, originally proposed 2,000 years earlier by Aristotle.
From the en.wikipedia.org
He supported the doctrine of epigenesis.

- A geological change in the mineral content of rock after the rock has formed
- In biology, epigenesis has at least two distinct meanings: * the unfolding development in an organism, and in particular the development of a plant or animal from an egg or spore through a sequence of steps in which cells differentiate and organs form;n* the theory that plants and animals ...
- Spiritual evolution is the philosophical, theological, esoteric or spiritual idea that nature and human beings and/or human culture evolve along a predetermined cosmological pattern or ascent, or in accordance with certain pre-determined potentials.
- The theory that an organism develops by differentiation from an unstructured egg rather than by simple enlarging of something preformed; changes in the mineral content of rock after its formation
- Theory holding that development is a gradual process of increasing complexity. (This contrasts with preformationism, which holds that the organism is already present in the gamete(s), merely growing and unfolding during development. ...
- The development of a whole plant or animal from a single-celled zygote. Cells differentiate to become part of distinct organs (leaves and roots, for example) by activating some genes while inhibiting others.
- Describes the developmental process whereby each successive stage of normal development is built up on the foundations created by the preceding stages of development; an embryo is built up from a zygote, a seedling from an embryo, and so on.
- Mechanism that turns genes on or off and determines functions of body cells.
- The process by which, at any point in ontogeny, current phenotype sets stage for further development guided by genes whose expression are more or less modified by environmental influences. eg, babies raised in different enviroment developed into different adults.
