What is polygenic inheritance? 
A characteristic showing continous variation, that is determined by multiple genes at different loci
Explain how epigenetic changes affect the development of tissues in an embryo
DNA is wrapped around histones.
Histone modification causes chromosome to unwind / affects binding of tRNA polymerase.
DNA methylation affects production of mRNA
this affects transcription of genes, altering gene expression
