Question

QUESTION 14 Which of the following is an advantage of using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as genetic markers in linkage mapping experiments? O A. many SNP alleles from all througout the genome can be used as markers in a single cross to an unknown gene O B. SNP alleles indicate specific physical locations in the chromosome O C. SNP alleles can be revealed without having to observe a specific phenotype O D. SNP alleles can be used for mapping genes by analyzing populations of unrelated individuals in Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) E. all of the above

Explanation / Answer

Q Which of the following is an advantage of using single nucleotide polymorphisms as genetic markers in linkage mapping experiments?

Answer: SNP alleles can be used for mapping genes by analyzing populations of unrelated individuals in Genome wide Association Studies (GWAS) Explanation: in a genome wide association study populations of unrelated individuals is analyzed and scanned for SNPs associated with a particular characteristic of interest. The objective of this method is to determine if any variant is associated with a trait.
