Select the best example of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. A-Individuals with a history of childhood abuse have more methylation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene than individuals without such history. B-Vinclozolin binds to insulin receptors, disrupting glucose metabolism and causing epigenetic methylation of the insulin receptor gene. C-A long non-coding RNA transcribed from the Xist gene suppresses transcription of one X chromosome in each female mammal cell. D-Offspring of rats with high-fat diets were fed a low-fat diet and had normal weights, but still developed symptoms of diabetes. E-Experimental rats with nutrient-restricted diets were at greater risk of infection than control rats that were fed a nutritionally-complete diet.

    The correct statement is option D.

    Explanation:

    The transmission of information from one generation of a species to another, which influences the traits of offspring without changing the primary composition of the DNA, that is epigenetically is known as transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. The epigenetic inheritance, that is, the less precise term may be used to illustrate both organism-organism and cell-cell information transfer.
