Here is a family pedigree for an imprinting disorder caused by a loss of function mutation in a single imprinted gene. After generation I only related individuals are shown. You can assume that the parents not included in the pedigree did not carry the mutation. %3D II IV V Male Female Affected Carrier a) Does the mutation involve a gene that is normally expressed from the maternal or from the paternal allele? Briefly explain your logic. b) Identify two ways in which the pattern of inheritance shown in the pedigree is different from X-linked inheritance Parthenogenesis has been documented in most vertebrate Classes (e.g. birds, fish) but never in mammals. Genomic imprinting provides one explanation for this observation. Why? I.
