Answer: The DNA on the paternal copy of the chromosome will be methylated at the imprinting center, while the DNA on the maternal copy of the chromosome will not be methylated in this region.
Explanation:
Chromosomes are DNA structures associated with proteins such as histones. They are found in the nucleus of cells and contain genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. Human beings are diploid, meaning that they possess two copies of each of the 23 chromosomes (a total of 46).
Gametes, which are sex cells such as the sperm (produced by the male) and the egg (produced by the female) that are haploid. This means that they possess only one chromosome of each pair. During fertilization, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to generate a zygote, which will give rise to a new human being. <u>This new individual will possess half of the genetic material from its father and half from its mother. Thus having a total of 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent</u>.
Genetic imprinting modulates gene expression by chemical modification of DNA and/or modification of chromatin structure. Often, genetic imprinting causes a gene to be expressed only on the chromosome inherited from one of the parents. One example of imprinting is DNA methylation, which is a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA. <u>Methylation modifies DNA function when found in the promoter gene, repressing gene transcription. This means that a methylated gene will not be expressed</u>, that is, it will not produce a protein encoded by that gene. So, if a region of DNA is imprinted in the sperm cell, the paternal chromosome inherited from this sperm will be methylated in the genes of the offspring. And the offspring will only express the maternal copy inherited, which will not be methylated.
As for this question of true or false, the most probable answer and the most likely answer for this would be true.
Nuts and grains are considered to be dry fruits. What people usually think when the word fruits come into mind is usually the ones that are fleshy and juicy and the seeds are inside. Well, for nuts and grains, the seeds are also inside but what we eat are the seeds itself. Though they may be referred interchangeably in everyday conversations, it is understood that nuts and grains are both fruits.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
It is found that birds have evolved in the Mesozoic Era from a a group of theropod dinosaurs. the most close relative of modern day bird was supposed to be a primitive bird known as Archaeopteryx. In a recent study conducted by UCMP Berkeley, birds have common ancestors from the theropod lineage. More specifically, lizard-hipped dinosaurs are ancestors of birds.
Hence, the given statement is false
Raw material of photosynthesis is O2
I think the answer should be the second one
