FAQ
Q: What is genomic imprinting?
A: Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon where certain genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner.
Q: Explain the concept of monohybrid crosses in genetics.
A: A monohybrid cross is a genetic cross between two individuals that focuses on the inheritance of a single trait controlled by a single gene.
Q: How does DNA methylation influence gene expression?
A: DNA methylation is a process where methyl groups are added to DNA, often resulting in gene silencing and decreased gene expression.
Q: What role do chromosomes play in gene expression?
A: Chromosomes contain genes that provide the instructions for protein synthesis, thus playing a crucial role in gene expression.
Q: What is the impact of DNA condensation around histones on gene expression during cell division?
A: DNA condensation around histones can regulate gene expression by making certain genes more or less accessible for transcription during cell division.
Q: How does genomic imprinting affect phenotypes?
A: Genomic imprinting can lead to parent-specific expression of certain genes, impacting phenotypes and genetic traits.
Q: Discuss the syndrome of Timon and its genetic implications.
A: The syndrome of Timon is influenced by three genes and can help illustrate how multiple genes interact to produce a specific phenotype, highlighting genetic complexity.
