The correct answer is epigenetics

Epigenetics is a term referred to as extra genetic information that, with the help of chromatin and DNA modifications, helps or inhibits certain genes. Gene expression follows an order: DNA-> RNA (transcription) -> Protein.

Epigenetics consists of modifications of the genetic functions that are inherited, but which in turn do not alter the individual's DNA sequence. As all cells in the body contain the same genes, epigenetics serves as a means of controlling the functions of each gene, according to the cell.

Epigenetics can be defined as the study of the processes involved in the genetic development of an organism, especially the activation and deactivation of genes. It is the study of heritable changes caused by the activation and deactivation of genes without any change in DNA sequence.
