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.

• Deletion chromosomes are useful for what purpose?
• All nuclei in multicellular animals' cells have the exact identical genes. However, the sets of genes transcribed in a cell varies dramatically from one cell to the next. Explain how gene transcription patterns are regulated in various cell types.• Describe one type of gene regulation that occurs after transcription is completed.
• Draw a figure of a gene model containing labeled 5' and 3' UTRs, exons, and introns. Label the promoter region, the transcription start site and the translation start and stop. • Use your figure to show how alternative splicing can generate two different mature mRNAs from your gene model that nevertheless share some coding sequence. Draw these alternative mRNAs and indicate where are the 5' and 3' UTRs in the mature mRNAs.
