If a bee larva is fed royal jelly, which consequence follows regarding its genome?

💡 Explanation

Royal jelly triggers differential gene expression via epigenetic modifications. The mechanism involves altered DNA methylation patterns, causing the larva to develop into a queen, rather than a worker bee. Therefore, the methylation patterns change, rather than mutation, splicing, or telomere dynamics.
