The Calpyge mutation is in a gene that is imprinted. Describe how imprinting ensures that this mutation is only expressed in offspring if the mutant allele came from their father.

The G allele is dominant in frogs. A reciprocal cross is carried out between homozygous recessive frogs and heterozygous frogs and the phenotypes are examined. When heterozygous offspring inherited the G allele from their mother they developed the dominant phenotype. When they inherited the G allele from their father they display the recessive phenotype despite having a copy of the dominant allele. This gene appears to be:
| lethal |
| imprinted (the paternal copy is silenced) |
| imprinted (the maternal copy is silenced) |
| altered by a transposable element |
| altered by thymine dimers |
