Interphase is the process in which the cell prepares for mitosis, but I don’t know if that is what you were asking. Hope this helps
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.

Angiosperms, dicots
Explanation:
Angiosperms are highly differentiated vascular plants which can produce flowers and bear fruits with seeds in them. These flowering plants undergo reproduction and produces new plants. The reproductive parts like ovules and ovaries, stigma, stamen, pollen are all present in the flowers.
Angiosperms can either be a monocot or dicot. If they contain two embryonic leaves or cotyledons they are referred as dicots. Flowering angiosperms like geranium, magnolias are all dicots.
Geranium is a dicot angiosperms that produces small purple flowers.
Gymnosperms or bryophytes do not bear flowers or fruits. Monocots have only embryonic leaf.
