Answer:

QTLs can be identified by using molecular markers associated with the variation of the trait

Explanation:

A Qualitative Trait Locus (QTL) is a chromosomal region correlated with the variation of a quantitative trait, i.e., a phenotypic trait controlled by many genes. QTL mapping refers to the identification of QTLs associated with a particular trait. In QTL mapping, molecular markers (i.e., small and identifiable DNA fragments) are used to develop genetic linkage maps which are further used to discover QTLs. This technique (QTL mapping) consists of evaluating the phenotypic segregation of the trait in the progeny by statistically correlating phenotypes with patterns of genetic segregation (segregation of the molecular markers).

The response of bacteria that allows them to be identified as Gram-positive or Gram- negative is due to
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: Option D.

Whether their cell walls have a thin or thick layer of peptidoglycan.

Explanation:

Gram positive bacteria have thick cell wall layer of peptidoglycan and their cells stain purple when subjected to gram staining which is crystal violet. Examples are anthrax bacteria, diphtheria e.t.c.

Gram negative bacteria have thin cell wall layer of peptidoglycan and tend to retain the color when stained with crystal violet or gram staining. Examples are E.coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa e.t.c. Gram staining is important to differentiate between gram positive from gram negative bacteria.

It can't be B even though it does seem like the right answer because the are all aquatic. It can't be C. because it would been that the same species would have the same niche which is not possible. It can't be D. because every organism is evolved from a common ancestor.
