Which of the following is an example of genomic imprinting in humans? Which of the following is an example of genomic imprinting

in humans? A random pattern of autosomal allele inactivation is observed. In some allele pairs, only the paternal sourced allele is expressed, and in others, only the maternal sourced allele is expressed. The maternal and paternal alleles of a gene pair are both expressed. Human males have only one Y-chromosome and one X-chromosome. One of the two X-chromosomes in females is randomly expressed and the other is repressed.

Answer:

In some allele pairs, only the paternal sourced allele is expressed, and in others, only the maternal sourced allele is expressed.

Explanation:

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon where alleles are differentially expressed depending on their parental origin (for example, paternally expressed when it is inherited from the father). Genomic imprinting is controlled by epigenetic modifications (for example, DNA methylation, histone acetylation, etc) which works together to preferentially activate the expression of the allele inherited from one parent and simultaneously silence or “​imprint” the expression of the allele inherited from the other parent. In humans, an example of genomic imprinting is the case of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) gene, which is maternally imprinted (repressed), thereby this gene is only expressed from the paternal allele.

Mitosis can best be described as what?
cricket20 [7]

Hello!

Your answer is A. The daughter cells are genetically identical to both each other and to the parent cell.

The parent cell makes two copies of its chromosomes and separates them, then divides by cytokinesis, creating two genetically identical daughter cells.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The nutrition therapy goals for the individual with diabetes have evolved and have become more flexible and patient centered. The goals from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2019 include the following: (2)

1.

To promote and support healthful eating patterns, emphasizing a variety of nutrient dense foods in appropriate portion sizes in order to improve overall health and:

➢

Achieve and maintain body weight goals

➢

Attain individualized glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid goals

➢

Delay or prevent complications of diabetes

2.

To address individual nutrition needs based on personal and cultural preferences, health literacy and numeracy, access to healthful food choices, willingness and ability to make behavioral changes, as well as barriers to change

3.

To maintain the pleasure of eating by providing nonjudgmental messages about food choices

4.

To provide an individual with diabetes the practical tools for day-to-day meal planning rather than focusing on individual macronutrients, micronutrients or single foods

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) guidelines have similar goals for people with type 2 diabetes. (3)
