What is the difference between x-inactivation and genomic imprinting?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
The difference between them is that :
In genomic imprinting : one of the alleles in the two chromosomes ( for example the color of the eyes ) are tend to be heavily methylated, in contrast to the nonimpringting copy of the allele which typically is not methylated.
In X-chromosome in activation : As you know in female there are two X chromosomes, so one of the two X xhromosomes is methylated which mean one of the two chromosomes become inactivation.

What phenomenon occurs when a particular alelle will either be expressed or silenced depending on whether it is inherited from a male or female?
genomic imprinting is the answer to the question above....found in my text book...
What is the difference between genomic and bioinformatics?
genomics is the study of an entire sequence of an organism's DNA, while bioinformatics is the use of computers and data bases to organize and analyze DNA. bioinformatics makes genomics a bit easier.
How is a genomic library produced?
A genomic library is produced through the meticulous accumulation of genetic information that lends to different classifications and structures to the level of taxonomy.
Distinguish between fitness and adaptation?
Fitness is a measure of the average reproductive alacrity of a particular variant, lineage or population.Adaptation is a genomic change that increases fitness for the variants or lineages carrying the change.
What is the difference between animal and plant DNA extraction?
Plant DNA extractionPlant genomic DNA is more difficult to extract because of the plant's cell wall, which is removed by homogenization, or by adding cellulase to degrade the cellulose that makes up the cell wall. Also, the metabolites present in the plant cell may interfere with genomic DNA extraction by contaminating the DNA sample during the precipitation process.Animal DNA ExtractionPeripheral blood leukocytes are a main source of animal genomic DNA, but sample collection is difficult as blood must be withdrawn from the animal. Blood contains a range of compounds like proteins, lipids, white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, which can contaminate the DNA sample. The primary contaminant of animal DNA extracted from blood samples is heme, the non-protein component of hemoglobin.DifferencesThe differences between plant and animal DNA lie in the sequence of bases in the helix. Compounds found in plant cells are absent in animal cells, and DNA base sequences reflect this, as the genomic plant DNA is often larger than animal DNA. These differences affect extraction methods, as it impacts on yield and purity of DNA.

What is parental conflict theory of imprinting?
A widely accepted hypothesis for the evolution of genomic imprinting is the "parental conflic.

What is the importance of genomics?
There are several important things that happen when using genomic imprinting. Genomic imprinting is when the parent genes are also in the child genes. Some parent genes in the child only come from the mother, or just the father. Genomic imprinting is taking DNA and manipulating genes to try and make a better, healthy next generation.
What are genomic imprinting DNA methylation and histone acetylation examples of?
Epigenetic Phenomena.
How does Genomic imprinting work?
Genomic imprinting can be classified as a variation in phenotype of traits that depend on which parent passed along the alleles for those traits. Rather the allele is inherited from the male or female parent.
What has the author Michelle Lynn Banko written?
Michelle Lynn Banko is a self-published author known for her Young Adult novels such as "Refrain" and "Heart Song." She writes contemporary romances with themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
What is the difference between Plasmic DNA and Genomic DNA?
the genomic DNA large and is the one that forms chromosomes. however, the plasmedic DNA is a small circular vector of DNA (3 kb - 5 kb)
What is an example of imprinting?
First one needs to understand what imprinting is. One receives one copy of a gene from the mother, and another from the father. Sometimes the copy from mother or father is silenced, and only the copy from one parent is active. If the only active gene is damaged, it can show up in the form of genetic disease. An example of genomic imprinting, is the mixing of tigers and lions. Who the mother is, has direct effect on the offspring. A mother tiger and a father lion, results in a liger. Ligers are much bigger than either parent. A mother lion and a father tiger, results in a tigon. Tigons are about the same size as their parents. The difference in the two mixes come from genomic imprinting related to the maternal expression of certain genes.
T or F Genomic imprinting and genetic anticipation both involve the inhibition of specific genes or chromosomes based on parental origin?
Are you from FAU Schwartz? Cuz I was looking up the same question.
What are differences between isolation and purification?
They are the same (if you are talking about genomic DNA)
What is the difference between genomic and bioinformatics?
genomics is the study of an entire sequence of an organism's DNA, while bioinformatics is the use of computers and data bases to organize and analyze DNA. bioinformatics makes genomics a bit easier.
