Answer to Question 1

Answer: epigenetics

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The human genotype is the set of genes, in the form of DNA, that an individual inherits from his/her parents. The phenotype is the manifestation of human characteristics that are a function of the interaction of the genotype and the environment. For example, a person may be born with genes that will allow that individual to develop a great ability to understand and manipulate language, but if they are not exposed to language from a very young age their language genes will go wasted and their phenotype may lack language ability almost entirely.
