Question
Chapter 16.2, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The types of chemical modifications occurring in DNA or histones that result in genomic imprinting.
Introduction: Humans inherit alleles one from father and one from mother. Both alleles are generally functional but in some cases, one is turned off that do not express in the offspring. This refers to the gene that is imprinted, that is, the gene from one parent is silenced and is expressed from the other parent.
