The question 'is the level of genetic variation in the gametes related to the amount of DNA methylation observed?' is the MOST appropriate question raised by this observation.

  • Epigenetics refers to all changes in gene expression that are not associated with the DNA (nucleotide) sequence.

  • Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, histone modifications (e.g., acetylation methylation, etc) and regulatory non-coding RNA pathways.

  • The variation in the DNA methylation pattern may be associated with suppression (or activation) of gene expression.

In conclusion, the question 'is the level of genetic variation in the gametes related to the amount of DNA methylation observed?' is the MOST appropriate question raised by this observation.
