In plants, germ cells are derived from tissues late in plant growth. How does this fact relate to inheritance patterns observed in plants versus animals?
a. |
This explains the presence of Barr bodies found in the cells of animals but not in plants. |
|
b. |
This explains why some genes in both the egg and sperm of animals contain special methylation patterns, whereas in plants all gametes have the same methylation patterning. |
|
c. |
This explains why epigenetic modifications are heritable in plants but not in animals. |
|
d. |
This explains why epigenetic modifications are heritable in animals but not in plants. |
|
e. |
This explains why no genes in the gametes of animals contain any methylation patterns, whereas in plants all gametes have some DNA methylation. |

Two identical twins who showed very similar methylation patterns when they were 4 years old show very divergent patterns at age 40. This divergence is most likely due to a different alternative splicing in the two individuals Ob different levels of histone acetyltransferase in the two individuals. Oc environmental differences that they experienced as adults. O d. different genomic imprinting in the two individuals. O e differences in their experiences in utero Suppose that a certain enzyme is synthesized whenever...
