Answer:
C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.
Explanation:
The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.
In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.
When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.
Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.
Answer:
it's too early for this, also im pretty sure all we know is that their ancestors are wolves and that's it.
Explanation:
The genotypic ratio of their offspring is 100% Ee.

Answer - They take in C02 (Carbon Dioxide) & Release O2 (Oxygen)
Reasoning - To be able to do Photosynthesis they Plants need C02 which is one of the important components to making Glucose. During that gas exchange they release O2 for C02.
The answer is : exponentially
