Imprinting can be cell-type specific; for example, this region of chromosome 15 is ONLY imprinted in neurons and a few other spe

cific cell types, but it is not imprinted in most cells in the body, such as bone, liver, and heart cells. Which of the following statements are true about a healthy individual without Prader-Willi or Angelman syndrome? ( Choose two answers)
a. Maternal and paternal copies of SNRPN are expressed at the same level in heart cells.
b. The maternal and paternal copies of UBE3A are differentially expressed in bone cells.
c. The maternal copy of SNRPN has DNA methylation at its promoter in liver cells.
d. Expression of the paternal copy of UBE3A is silenced in neurons.

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.

Describe how you could simulates one of the cases from the computer simulation (Case 2, Case 3, or Case 4) using the basic labor
satela [25.4K]

In place of clicking on the touchpad for the Cases, I would boost in response to the visual incitements that would be linked with a reflex hammer with an accelerometer; the reflex hammer would move appropriately to the carrying of the picture on the screen by a programmed mechanical device. I wouldn’t use the reflex hammer’s sound however; it’s purely there to compute my reaction times (time of highest acceleration of movement of the reflex hammer deducted by time of reflex) instead of using the computer’s software at figuring reaction times, since I think the software is defective.
