Genomic imprinting: The phenomenon of parent-of-origin gene expression. The expression of a gene depends upon the parent who passed on the gene.For instance, two different disorders-Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman syndrome -- are due to deletion of the same part of chromosome 15.enomic imprinting: The phenomenon of parent-of-origin gene expression. The expression of a gene depends upon the parent who passed on the gene.
Todayâs lesson is brought to you by 7, 14, and the letters. Kw, pH. Kw: the ion-product constant of water Q: will pure distilled water conduct electricity A: As the demo shows, it will (slightly). If water conducts electricity, ions must exist Water exists as an equilibrium, which is referred to as the self-ionization of water: H2O + H2O ï« H3O+(aq) + OHâ(aq) Kw What is the value of Kw?
In this equation, k is the rate constant for the reaction, Z is a proportionality constant that varies from one reaction to another, Ea is the activation energy for the reaction, R is the ideal gas constant in joules per mole kelvin, and T is the temperature in kelvin.atalysts increase the rates of reactions by providing a new mechanism that has a smaller activation energy, as shown in the figure below. A larger proportion of the collisions that occur between reactants now have enough energy to overcome the activation energy for the reaction.
