Question 8
Which of the following statements is true?
SNPs do not account for any of the genetic variation in the human genome
SNPs are nucleotide polymorphisms that differ in a population
CNVs are not an important source in the variation of the human genome
All of the above statements are true
Question 9
Why are genetic changes that lead to a selective disadvantage usually lost?
Changes detrimental to survival can lead to fewer offspring and will not be passed on
Genetic repair mechanisms will erase the mistake
Organisms can control expression of deleterious genes to minimize impact
Sexual reproduction always purifies dangerous mutations
None of these are correct
Q)8)SNPs are nucleotide polymorphism that differ in population.
A single nucleotide polymorphism is a substitution of a single nucleotide that occurs at a specific position in the genome,where each variation is present at a level of 0.5℅ from person to person in the population.
Q)9)Genetic repair mechanism will erase the mistake.
during replication or after replicating several changes are occured in DNA,as the genetic changes occur that lead to several changes in the expression product from that gene.Changes in the expression product leads to disadvantage.By repair mechanism such changes are repaired.
