Question

How does comparatie genomics aid in the search for factors that contribute to complex human conditions? pick one. a. Detecing a specific mutation allows for pheonotypic abnormalities to be identified faster. b. It is easier to understand the function of a genetic sequence if it is conserved across multiple species. c. ordering dna allows scientists to infer where genes of interest are located within the genome. d. Analyzing the inheritance of multiple traits in a family facilitates the inference of which genes are loctated near each other on a chromosome.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Detecing a specific mutation allows for pheonotypic abnormalities to be identified faster

Explanation:

When a human being has a complex condition, this may be due to a genetic disorder, for example,  deleterious mutations in their DNA.

In order to identify if a pathology or condition is related to genetic factors and, specifically in order to detect the gene or genomic regions involved in that condition, genome comparison is a very useful and valuable tool.

When two genomes are compared, differences between them can be detected. The comparison of the genome of a person with no condition  with the genome of a human with a complex condition allows to recognize mutations (factors)  in the person with the complex condition that may be involved in such condition.
