5- methylcytosine (5-mC) in the sequence CpG in vertebrate DNA is dynamic during vertebrate development. The methylation positions of CpGs in Hoxc8 gene were in charging with thoracic vertebral development and related the number of thoracic vertebrae. For the 14 thoracic vertebrae and the 7 lumbar in Mongolia sheep(M), the numbers of methylated CpGs were 5 and 21, and the ratios of methylated CpG were 18.50±0.06% and 79.03±0.06% (p<0.01) respectively. The distribution density of mythylated CpGs in the 14 thoracic vertebrae of M was higher than that of the crossbreds (M x Dorset and M x German Merino) by 13.10%. The 14 thoracic vertebrae is controlled by methylation and inherited in an epigenetic pattern. The ram transfer the 14 thoracic vertebrae by 10% to its offspring. The information on positions of methylated CpGs might be inherited in a way of quantum entanglement, in which two particles possess properties that are inherently linked with each other, even though the particles may be spatially and timely separated. Just like this, when a methyl group leave from 5-mC by some energy inside a cell, the novo methylation of a cytosine in an offspring will be entangled with the original methylation at the same position in the parents.
