Answer:
genomic imprinting
Explanation:
Genomic imprinting is a mechanism for regulating gene expression that allows expression of only one of the parental alleles, although both alleles are functional. Unlike most genes in which expression is biallelic, genes that are subjected to this mechanism (imprinted genes) have monoalelic expression; By definition, in an imprinted loci, only one allele is active (maternal or paternal), and the inactive is epigenetically marked by histonic modification and / or methylation of cytosines.
Genomic imprinting can cause some disturbances, among them Prader-Willi syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that involves a partial deletion of chromosome 15q on the paternal chromosome.
Answer:
a) 0.56moles
b) 2.78moles
Explanation:
The number of moles can be calculated by using the formula;
Mole (n) = Mass (M) ÷ Molar mass (MM)
For a glucose molecule, with chemical formula: C6H12O6
Where atomic mass of C= 12, H=1, O= 16
Molar mass of C6H12O6= 12(6) + 1(12) + 16(6)
= 72 + 12 + 96
= 180g/mol
a) In 100g of glucose;
Mole = 100/180
Mole = 0.56moles
b) In 500g of glucose
Mole = 500/180
Mole = 2.78moles
Answer:
Chloroplasts are only found in the parts of the plant that are capable of photosynthesis. The majority of chloroplasts are found in the leaves of the plant because these structures have the greatest surface area for absorption. The outer part of a plant stem may also contain chloroplasts.
Explanation:
Answer:
Animals are classified as being multicellular whereas protozoans are microscopic single-celled organisms.

Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete but the completed question can be seen in the document attached.
There are three main subatomic particles namely electrons, protons and neutrons. However, the question only discusses two of them; electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged).
A. Found in all matter
Answer: They are <u>both</u> found in all matter since all matter are made up of atoms and all atoms have both protons and electrons (and even neutrons).
B. Negative charge
Answer: The subatomic particle with negative charge (as discovered by R.A Millikan) is the <u>electron</u>
C. Exists in the nucleus
The subatomic particles found in the nucleus are the <u>protons</u> and neutrons.
D. Attract opposite charges
They <u>both</u> (protons and electrons) attract opposite charges because they are of opposite charges and generally unlike charges attract.
E. Moves at extreme speed
Of the two subatomic particles mentioned, <u>electrons</u> move faster than protons because of there lighter mass when compared to the protons. However, the fastest subatomic particle is the neutrino.
F. Bound by strong force
The <u>protons</u> are bound by strong nuclear force which binds them to the nucleus of the atom.
