Abstract

Chromosome imprinting is the process by which one of two genetically homologous chromosomes is predetermined to function differently from the other at a subsequent stage in development. In the coccid insects, imprinting occurs in the egg, at the time of fertilisation; it probably occurs at the same time and site in mammals, and possibly also in Sciara.
