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. Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic disease that is fundamentally neurological. Its appearance is due to a deletion of a fragment of chromosome 15 derived from the father.

Arada [10]

Answer: Synaptic gap

A synaptic gap is the space between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages.

Explanation:

Neurons are joined end to end in a special way, the axon of one neuron forms a junction with the dendrites of the next neuron. However, the two neurons do not touch, but leave a gap called synaptic gap.

Thus, synaptic gap is the answer.

Answer:

No it is not a scientific theory.

Explanation:

An explanation of any aspect of the natural phenomenon of the world that can be tested several times and well supported by the evidence, and follows the scientific method. Furthermore known as scientific theory.

Presently, a logical hypothesis must meet a few rules, and one of those is that it must be upheld by a few (and free) strands of proof.  

For this situation, we have just one hypothesis, that bulldogs are great pet and Meatball is great among bulldogs, and it isn't sufficient, at that point it can not be a scientific theory.
