Uniparental disomy is a chromosome abnormality where a pair of chromosomes only have DNA from one parent and are miss DNA from the other parent. This abnormality happens during mitosis.

A defect on maternal chromosome 15 will cause the sundrome. Since the paternal copy, which is most likely normal is silenced, it makes no difference. Uniparental disomy will also result in the syndrome.
No. However, if the maternal copy of chromosome 15 has a mutation on a specific gene, angelman's results. Also, getting two copies of chromosome 15 from the father results in angelman's (Paternal uniparental disomy).
Most cases of Angelman syndrome are not inherited, particularly those caused by a deletion in the maternal chromosome 15 or by paternal uniparental disomy. These genetic changes occur as random events during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) or in early embryonic development. Affected people typically have no history of the disorder in their family.
Prader-Willi Syndrome is neither dominant or recessive - it is simply a genetic anomaly that occurs at conception (it's not inherited - it just happens) where part of the 15th chromosome that should be present/active is missing. This occurs either because it is totally missing (known as deletion) or because the child gets 2 chromosome 15s from the mother (instead of 1 from mom and 1 from dad which is the way it should be) and therefore that part of chromosome 15 that should be active from the father is nonexistent (this is known as uniparental disomy, or UPD)

Occurs when a person receives two copies of a chromosome, or of part of a chromosome, from one parent and no copies from the other parent.

The Meaning of Meaning was created in 1923.
'MEANING' in other words can be the 'vocabulary' of a word or the 'essence' of the word as to what the word precisely means. OR meaning is the meaning of meaning what you just said meaning
