A geneticist determines that the order of four genes on a specific chromosome is CABD because the recombination frequencies were 35% for C-D, 24% for A-D, 23% for B-D, and 10% for A-B. What has the geneticist constructed?
A. a physical map
B. a karyotype
C. a cytogenic map
D. a linkage map
A genetic disease is caused by a deletion in part of a gene. The deletion results in one copy of the gene being shorter whereas the other copy is normal length. In the gel below, the DNA sequences of this gene from four individuals have been amplified using PCR (the gel is loaded at the top of the tray). Lane 1 of the gel shows an individual who does not have the disease. Which of the bands represents the disease allele?
A
B
C
Which of the following statements about molecular markersare true?A. All molecular markers are segments of DNA that carryspecific genes.B. A molecular marker is a segment of DNA that is found at aspecific location in a genome.C. We can follow the transmission of a molecular marker byanalyzing the phenotype (i.e., the physical characteristics)of offspring.D. We can follow the transmission of molecular markers usingmolecular techniques such as gel electrophoresis.E. An STS is a molecular marker.
