INTERGENERATIONAL MOMENTUM.
Barack morgan wrote on how signals from the
environment are known to add permanent epigenetic marks. Human being are at the
intermediate of the pivoted environment with a brain. Epigenetic inheritance is
an unconventional finding that is observed to be moving over a generation
called intergenerational momentum. It goes against the idea that inheritance
happens only through the DNA code that passes from parent to offspring. It
means that a parent's experiences, in the form of epigenetic tags, can be
passed down to future generations. With this you can see poverty cycle through
one family ,being illiterate to one family just because of the environmental
factors which makes epigenetic marks. As unconventional as it may be, there is
little doubt that epigenetic inheritance is real. In fact, it explains some
strange patterns of inheritance geneticists have been puzzling over for
decades. Epigenetic marks silence certain gene sequences and activate others so
that nascent cells can differentiate. If the marks don't work properly, cancer
or cell death is possible. Stressors like a rich diet can activate epigenetic
marks, modifying histones or adding methyl groups to DNA strands. These changes
can turn genes on or off and may affect what gets passed down to your offspring.
If you overstimulated genes for, say, obesity or a shortened life span, your
kids can inherit these over activated sequences. That could mean a lifetime of
battling unfavorable gene expression. This shows how Africa is still not moving
forward since the environment which we create for the current generation makes
them to be inferior always and not constructive minded as there is an heritable
gene which has been influenced by the environment exposed hence will still move
on what Robert kiyosaki called rat race .Let us build an environment to this generation
with empowered confidence and ability so that we can create Africa free from mentality
colonization and being industrialized not from coping technology from others.
