Answer:

The correct answer is - A and D.

Explanation:

Genetic imprinting is DNA modifications that result in changing the expression but not the sequence. Factors That affect such changes present both within and outside the cell.

It is a result of the silencing of either maternal or paternal alleles in a pair. This occurs random and leads to phenomenon like X-inactivation. The mechanism involves methylation of the DNA to be silenced. paternal copy of UBE3A is silenced in neurons.
