Epigenetic effects can be mediated by changes in chromatin state that are transmitted from parent to child via gametes, but support is gathering for maternal yolk, which is deposited into ooctyes, as an extranuclear epigenetic factor that can contribute to phenotypic plasticity across generations in Caenorhabditis elegans.
表观遗传效应可以通过染色质状态的变化来介导,这些变化通过配子从亲代传递到子代,但越来越多的证据表明,母源性卵黄作为一种核外表观遗传因子,可以在秀丽隐杆线虫中为跨代的表型可塑性做出贡献。
