Question

The imprints are made up of _______­­_____ groups­.

  1. Phenyl

  2. Methyl

  3. Ethyl

  4. Hydroxyl

hintHint:

Methyl

The correct answer is:

Methyl


    In genes that undergo genomic imprinting, the parent of origin is often marked, or “stamped,” on the gene during the formation of egg and sperm cells. This stamping process, called methylation, is a chemical reaction that attaches small molecules called methyl groups to certain segments of DNA.
