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.

Which of the following is a use for a weather radar a. forecasting weather b. preventing precipitation c. measuring rainfall d.
Elden [556K]

Correct answer: A). Forecasting weather

A weather radar is an instrument that is used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion and determine the type i.e hail, snow or rain. It sends electromagnetic energy pulse into the atmosphere. If that pulse of energy interacts with something, then it reflects back the energy, which can be sensed by the weather radar.

Nowadays, most radar used are Doppler effect, which has dual polarization, it determines that movement is toward or away from the radar.

Hence, the correct answer would be option A.
