Genome‑wide association studies (GWAS) are used to identify potential genetic variants that are associated with traits or diseas

es. GWAS can either be conducted using marker‑based or whole‑genome sequences. Genetic researchers may choose one approach over the other. Match the research benefits as pertaining to marker‑based, whole‑genome, or both approaches.

Answer:

  1. acceptable for biochemical pathway to remain unknown
  2. identifies novel candidate genes for a disease
  3. allows for large sample sizes with a limited budget
  4. identifies DNA elements that flank a variant

Explanation:  Genome wide association studies (GWAS) are a relatively new approach to analyzing genetic sequence and have quickly become a fundamental part of modern genetic studies. Their purpose is to determine alleles that correlate to different diseases and traits.

GWAS focuses  on SNPs. The modern unit of genetic variation is the single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP. SNPs are single base-pair changes in the DNA sequence that occur with high frequency in the human genome, inother words, the single nucleotide sites that differ between individuals. By studying SNPs, researchers can analyze a few hundred thousand nucleotides rather than the 3 billion nucleotides that compose the human genome. The basic design of a GWAS is simple and begins by dividing participants into two groups:

* People with a disease/trait of interest

* People without a disease/trait (control group)

A scientist crossed two pea plants, both having the genotype RrYy. The Punnett square representing the cross is shown in the tab
Shalnov [3]
Parental genotypes: RrYy x RrYy
Offspring genotypes: RRYY, RRYy, RRyy, RrYY, RRyy, rrYY, rrYy, rryy

The conclusion is incorrect because there is a chance that the offspring may have the genotype rryy, in which it has no dominant alleles.

Why did small, rocky planets form close to the sun?
8090 [49]
The planets in our Solar System formed from the solar nebula – the disc of gas left over from the formation of our Sun. ... The gas giants on the other hand, formed far enough away from the Sun that the temperature was cool enough for these volatile gases to condense, and form these huge, less dense planets

How did cells originally get their name?
Gemiola [76]
Cells got their name from an Englishman named Robert Hooke in the year 1665. He first saw and named "cells" while he was experimenting with a new instrument we now call a "microscope."

Identify the relative abundance and descriptions of some of the gases in the atmosphere.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The most abundant gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen, with oxygen second, and argon as third.

Explanation:

The atmosphere contains many gases, most in small amounts, including some pollutants and greenhouse gases. The gases whose percentages do not change from day to day are nitrogen, oxygen and argon. Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen 21% and argon 0.9%.  Usually, the 4 most abundant gases are:

Nitrogen (N2) - 78.084%

Oxygen (O2) - 20.9476%

Argon (Ar) - 0.934%

Carbon dioxide (CO2) 0.0314%
