Question

Which of the statements about the relationship between DNA technology and genetic diversity is accurate?

Answer 1

D.) DNA technology can increase genetic diversity by producing more variant alleles.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

DNA technology can increase genetic diversity by producing more variant alleles.

Explanation:

DNA technology deals with the study and manipulation of genetic material i.e. DNA. With the help of DNA technology genetic diversity can be produced by producing more variant alleles. Using various techniques of DNA technology, we can introduce deletion and insertion of nucleotides so as to create variations in a particular allele. We often do it when we are doing research on a particular gene. By doing this we can check differential expression of various variants of a gene i.e. alleles. Apart from this, we also do it in gene therapy to cure a disease. Also, in industries we use variant alleles to enhance the yield of important DNA product which is protein.
