ANS:
Genetic imprinting is the differential expression of genes as determined by their parental origin; generally the alleles inherited from one parent are turned on, whereas the alleles from the other are turned off. In partheno-genesis, offspring only have a mother. If the mother's genes are imprinted so that they are off, then the off-spring may not produce all of the necessary gene products.
