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:
a. DNA polymorphism causes the disease.
b. disease causes the DNA polymorphism.
c. DNA polymorphism and the disease gene are unlinked.
d. DNA polymorphism and the disease gene are linked.

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.

What must happen for a mutation to affect evolution?
lara31 [8.8K]

I found this in a website, “A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life. ... So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. Without mutation, evolution could not occur.”

(Does heating water allow it to dissolve more sugar)? What is the Dependent Variable, What is the Independent Variable?​
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

yes

independent - temperature

dependent - amount of sugar dissolved

Explanation:

When water molecules are heated they move faster and collide more with the sugar molecules. These collisions transfer energy to the sugar molecules. Energy is needed to break bonds. The bonds holding the sugar molecules together or more likely to be broken.

The amount of sugar dissolved is dependent on the temperature of water.

Is this correct? (Check image)

Answer:

Genetic Drift Is: variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce. How Cats Become Feral: Over time, a stray cat can become feral as her contact with humans dwindles. A stray cat may be socialized enough to allow people to touch her, but she will become less socialized—or even feral—if she spends too much time without positive interaction with humans.
