Epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotype changes that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. Genetics involve with change of DNA sequence. Then what is more effecting.....
Genetic information provides the building block to synthesize specific protein thus cell functional activity, change in DNA sequence and gene function while
epigenetics as extra regulatory layer provide instruction on when, where and how to regulate DNA to achieve changes and gene regulation
It depends largely on the affected region rather than just being genetic or epigenetic . An epigenetic silencing of a transcription factor for example could have much more impact than a total deletion of a gene that has multiple copies.
