Give answer in:

TRUE OR FALSE

Expansion of a CAG repeat region by 1 repeat is an example of a frameshift mutation.
Both DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase read their template strand in a 3'->5' direction.
A silent mutation can create a RFLP.
In an organism with genotype AbClaBc ; DE/DE, genes A and D are linked genes.
In complementation tests, a dominant mutation will complement all other mutations.
The closer two genes are on a chromosome, the more accurate their m.u. distance is.
Sanger sequencing relies on using dideoxynucleotides to terminate extension of DNA
from a primer.
A linked RFLP (like the C RFLP banding pattern in the Venezuelan Huntington's Disease
family)
