not a biologist, but if we have a bunch of redundant dna (aka genes) that get activated/deactivated based on our environment, would that "state" be transferred to children? or do children get a blank slate of parental dna?
also, what causes genes to activate or deactivate? if proteins have any impact on this then there is information flow in the reverse direction, no?
