Transcribed Image Text:**Imprinted Genes: Multiple Choice Question**
1. Consider the following statements about imprinted genes:
A) Provide an example of epigenetic inheritance.
B) Often are near differentially methylated regions.
C) Are only inherited from one parent.
D) A and B are correct.
E) None of the above.
**Explanation:**
- **Imprinted Genes**: These are genes whose expression is determined by the parent that contributed them. They are a prime example of epigenetic inheritance, where gene expression is altered without changes to the DNA sequence. This pattern is often associated with regions of the genome that are differentially methylated, reflecting the parental origin.
Please choose the correct answer based on the information provided.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Epigenetic regulation of the genome is an absolute critical facet of organism's development. Gene expression through epigenetic regulation allows heritable changes in gene expression without alteration in DNA sequence.
