200
genes are made up of this
What is DNA?
200
a lifestyle or environmental factor that changes the epigenome

300
red blood cells use a protein called this to capture and carry oxygen

400
this is responsible for producing pigment in your eyes
What is an enzyme?
400
this allows us to adjust to changes in the world around us and learn from our experiences
What is an epigenome?
400
the random selection of these two processes create variation

500
this is responsible for growing hair and nails and produced by genes
