When phenotype can be drastically different depending on parental origin it is called:
A)Mutation
B)Translocation
C)Genomic imprinting
D)Incomplete dominance
E)Codominance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genomic imprinting occurs when genes are expressed differently depending on whether they were inherited from the mother or the father. This can result in drastic differences in phenotype, as certain genes may be turned off or on depending on their parental origin. Mutations, translocations, incomplete dominance, and codominance are all mechanisms that can affect phenotype, but they do not necessarily have a parental origin-dependent effect like genomic imprinting.
