can someone please explain to me what cell memory and epigenetics are? (In detail if you can please)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hi @bealiberty47 !

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

Hi @Abhisar do you know anything about cell memory

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yeah i was just bou to explain.

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

ok then

OpenStudy (abhisar):

See first of all i'll like to tell u that cell memory is completely a hypothetical concept + Pseudo scientific which lack any kind of solid evidence

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

so it's just a theory?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No no ...its not a THEORY. Its jus a hypothesis. It states that memories can be stored outside the brain in cells of human bodies.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

For example if a person goes under imputation then according to this theory the surrounding cells will store the memory of pain !!!

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

Can the memories of an organs' cell be transferred to another organism if they donated an organ or something?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

According to this theory yes. Many experiments have been carried out to prove this but non of them succeeded to do so. So a/c to this theory yes but not yet proved

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

ok so what are epigenetics

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Ohkay lets move on to it now, epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene activity that are not caused by changes in the DNA sequence

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

is cell memory acquired by changes to the DNA?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

This means that a persons phenotype will be changed without a change in genotype

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No no both are two different things !

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

ok then. I thought they were connected

OpenStudy (abhisar):

hv u understood the concept of epigenetics ?

OpenStudy (bealiberty47):

yep thanks!
