Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 10TYU
MAKE CONNECTIONS Looking at Figure 20.15, what does it mean for a SNP to be "linked" to a disease-associated allele? How does this allow the SNP to be used as a genetic marker? (See Concept 15.3.)

- 5. fill in the blanks please . You have identified 3 different alleles in human populations for part of the β-interferon gene that can easily be scored using PCR amplification followed by a restriction digest with XhoI:· Allele a1 has a 700-bp PCR product with no XhoI restriction sites.· Allele a2 also has a 700-bp PCR product, but due to a single-nucleotide polymorphism it has an XhoI restriction site 300 bp from one of the priming sites.· Allele a3 has a shorter 600-bp PCR product due to a deletion, and lacks an XhoI restriction site.You load the digested PCR products for three children (1, 2, and 3) along with their parents (M and F), in wells of an agarose gel (rectangles at the top of the diagram below), run the gel, and obtain the following results. The first lane contains a size marker with 100 bp increments; the bottom band is 100 bp long.
