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.
The following are the environmental factors that can damage genes that code for these enzymes. radiation from sun, various chemicals and x-rays. these agents are referred to as environmental mutagens. they result to changes in the genetic make up of the organism and in turn affect the production of enzymes. enzymes are protein in nature and once the DNA has been compromised their production is affected. in most cases mutated DNA produces enzymes with lost or abnormal function.
Archae can live in extreme settings, like super cold or super hot places
Archae have no peptidoglycan in cell walls, while Eubacteria do
Eukarya are things like fungi, plant, animal cells
Not all Eukarya have cells walls
Answer:
This leaf will not undergo photosynthesis
Explanation:
Factors influencing photosynthesis are light,temperature, carbon dioxide and water and since the plant lacks light photosynthesis is inhibited
The factors that the nurse expects in the influence of

Medication and illness of neonate
-
Fluoride level that is present in the supply
water
-
The medication or illness that the mother has
