Genomic imprinting is a genetic pattern in which the expression of a gene depends on which parent it is inherited from. This is because certain genes are marked or imprinted differently depending on whether they are inherited from the mother or the father. Therefore, the phenotype may differ depending on which parent contributed the imprinted gene. The other options do not rely on parental origin of the gene.
