Question

'Genetic imprinting', a process of gene silencing, is postulated to be caused by-

• A. Differential rate of replication
• B. Differential states of methylation
• C. Absence of complementary allele
• D. Non-inheritance of the target allele

Hint:

Genomic imprinting is a classic example of epigenetic gene silencing, and its primary molecular signature is differential DNA methylation of alleles depending on their parental origin.
