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.

1. Your online chat name should never contain your full name.
Illusion [34]

The correct options are as follows:

1. TRUE.

Your online chat name is your identity, which you use on the internet to communicate with your old friends and new friends, who you have just met and who you probably haven't met personally. It is of utmost importance that you don't use or reveal your full name online. This is because, your full name is the only thing some hackers need to get all the information they need about you. Through that single information, they can cause great havoc for you, like emptying your bank account, using your identity to commit fraud, stealing your email password and sending fraud messages through your box, etc.


2. D.

It is safe to tell an internet friend your favorite music. That is a relatively non important personal information that you can share with anybody. Such an information can not be used against you in any significant way. But sharing personal information such as full name, address and phone numbers can be very dangerous indeed if such information is shared with the wrong person.
