Answer:

The correct answer is d) genomic imprinting.

Explanation:

Genomic imprinting is a biological process by which specific modifications in the germ line that produce differences in the expression of the genetic material that is biochemically marked indicating its parental origin. The Prader-Willi syndrome is one of the best known and most studied examples in relation to pathologies produced by genomic imprinting.

Do you think Peacocks would be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Why or why not?
Slav-nsk [51]

Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.

Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection,  mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.

They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates

The first step in using amino acids as fuel is to __________ them.
Mice21 [21]
If i'm not mistaken amino acids can be used in our body to fuel a process in which cell replication occurs and DNA is made. So to use amino acids as fuel you would have to make sure everything is in correct order and lines up correctly from the time it's released from the nucleus to a ribosome.
