On a phylogeny, the number of nodes separating two taxa indicates how closely related they are.

<h3>What are taxa ?</h3>

A given taxon typically includes several taxa of lower rank. Taxa are arranged in a hierarchy from kingdom to subspecies. Certain taxonomic categories, which are listed in descending order and include kingdom, phylum (in plants, division), class, order, family, genus, species, and subspecies or race, are universally accepted for the classification of protists, plants, and animals.

Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species are the orderly groups, going from largest to smallest. 2. Each level is referred to as a taxon (plural: taxa) or taxonomic category in taxonomic nomenclature.

<span>Each of the protein chains are conjugated to a nonprotein heme group.Hemoglobin is the protein that's made of the four polypeptide chains. Each of these chains contains a heme group.

Normally, this region is imprinted in the sperm, but not the egg. This means that the DNA on the ____________ copy of the chromo
Nostrana [21]

Answer: The DNA on the paternal copy of the chromosome will be methylated at the imprinting center, while the DNA on the maternal copy of the chromosome will not be methylated in this region.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are DNA structures associated with proteins such as histones. They are found in the nucleus of cells and contain genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. Human beings are diploid, meaning that they possess two copies of each of the 23 chromosomes (a total of 46).

Gametes, which are sex cells such as the sperm (produced by the male) and the egg (produced by the female) that are haploid. This means that they possess only one chromosome of each pair. During fertilization, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to generate a zygote, which will give rise to a new human being. <u>This new individual will possess half of the genetic material from its father and half from its mother. Thus having a total of 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent</u>.

Genetic imprinting modulates gene expression by chemical modification of DNA and/or modification of chromatin structure. Often, genetic imprinting causes a gene to be expressed only on the chromosome inherited from one of the parents. One example of imprinting is DNA methylation, which is a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA. <u>Methylation modifies DNA function when found in the promoter gene, repressing gene transcription. This means that a methylated gene will not be expressed</u>, that is, it will not produce a protein encoded by that gene. So, if a region of DNA is imprinted in the sperm cell, the paternal chromosome inherited from this sperm will be methylated in the genes of the offspring. And the offspring will only express the maternal copy inherited, which will not be methylated.
