EPIGENETIC
Related to the doctrine that the entity that will
develop into a viable system (e.g., the germ cell developing into
an organism) is acted upon and depends both on the conditions in
its environment as well as its internal coding (i.e., it is both
the phenotype and genotype that determines the emergence of the
living organism). (Iberall)
