Genomic imprinting is a result of ________.
A) Nucleosome location
B) Histone activation
C) DNA methylation
D) Serine to leucine changes in the genetic code

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genomic imprinting occurs due to the addition or removal of methyl groups from DNA, which can affect the expression of genes. This process can lead to specific genes being turned on or off depending on which parent they were inherited from. Nucleosome location and histone activation can also affect gene expression, but they are not directly responsible for genomic imprinting. There is no evidence to support that serine to leucine changes in the genetic code are related to genomic imprinting.
