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 physics, the electronvolt (symbol eV, also written electron-volt) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.6Ã10â19 joules (symbol J). By definition, it is the amount of energy gained (or lost) by the charge of a single electron moving across an electric potential difference of one volt. Thus it is 1 volt (1 joule per coulomb, 1 J/C) multiplied by the elementary charge (e, or 6981160217662079999â 1.6021766208(98)Ã10â19 C).
