To discover the location of a genetic mutation that causes disease in humans, scientists use genetic mapping. Specifically, they

look for genetic markers, or previously discovered DNA polymorphisms, that show statistical association with the disease gene. The statistical association means that the:

Answer:

The correct answer is d. DNA polymorphism and disease gene are linked.

Explanation:

DNA polymorphism helps to study the difference in nucleotide sequence of one DNA in comparison to the standard one.

      DNA polymorphism is an important tool to analyze the disease that is caused due an alteration of gene sequence leading to genetic mutation.

Now the altered gene sequence is compared with the normally functioning gene to draw a statistical relationship between altered gene sequence that causes disease with  peviously discovered DNA polymorphism.

Ipatiy [6.2K]
The answer to this question would be: frequency

The higher intensity of the stimulus, the higher frequency of the action potential will be sent. The nerve can't send a higher action potential, so it firing at higher at higher intensity instead. So when you felt an intense pain, that means the pain receptor is firing more stimulus per second compared to low or mild pain.
