<span>Maggie's training regimen may put her at risk to develop secondary amenorrhea. While amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation, secondary amenorrhea is the absence of the menstrual cycle in females who have started menstruating (having had at least one cycle) and then stop menstruating for a period longer than three months. Secondary amenorrhea occurs in times of extreme stress or weight loss (such as anorexia). Female soldiers have experienced secondary amenorrhea when they have gone to war or have become prisoners of war. Hormone shots, extreme weight gain, birth control, and certain medications also cause the condition.</span>
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.
