Sometimes the copy from mother or father is silenced, and only the copy from one parent is active. If the only active gene is damaged, it can show up in the form of genetic disease. An example of genomic imprinting, is the mixing of tigers and lions.Who the mother is, has direct effect on the offspring. A mother tiger and a father lion, results in a liger. Ligers are much bigger than either parent. A mother lion and a father tiger, results in a tigon.ometimes the copy from mother or father is silenced, and only the copy from one parent is active.

Soon after egg and sperm meet, most of the epigenetic tags that activate and silence genes are stripped from the DNA. However, in mammals, imprinted genes keep their epigenetic tags. Imprinted genes begin the process of development with epigenetic tags in place.Imprinted genes are not the only genes that bypass epigenetic reprogramming in the early embryo. Studying imprinting may help researchers understand how other genes make it through reprogramming without losing their epigenetic tags.epending on the gene, either the copy from mom or the copy from dad is epigenetically silenced. Silencing usually happens through the addition of methyl groups during egg or sperm formation. The epigenetic tags on imprinted genes usually stay put for the life of the organism.
