Question

Map Genetics: A Conceptual Approach 6th Edition Pierce MHE/Freeman by Sapling Learning Could the genomic conflict hypothesis likely explain genomic imprinting for genes involved in adult memory? Why or why not? No. Imprinting cannot affect adult memories because imprinting is only active during the early developmental stages of an individual. Yes. If the neural pathways that will be used for adult memories are formed while within the uterus, then additional resource demands on the female may be necessary to prevent memory loss later in life. O No. Imprinting cannot affect memory since memories are generated by experience alone and cannot be programmed by genetics. Yes. Instincts are memories that are passed from parent to offspring, and these memories can only be transmitted through imprinting.

Explanation / Answer

Answer is second option

Yes.If the neural pathways that will be used for the adult memories are formed while within the nucleus, then additional resource demands on the female may be necessary to prevent memory loss later in life.

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomena which causes the gene to be expressed in a parent specific manner . At if paternal or maternal gene which is responsible for memory is imprinted , it might lead to memory loss.
