Chapter ST.1, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The role of imprinting in human genetic disorders.
Introduction: The genomic imprinting is the epigenetic modifications of DNA in which the genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin manner. These are known to occur in sexually reproducing mammals. Imprinting is one of the exceptional patterns of inheritance of traditional Mendelian rules of inheritance.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.)
After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)
Data Table 1Stage Totals PercentInterphase Mitosis: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Totals 100 100%
To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…

PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters.
