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.

How can carbon can be stored for a short time in the natural cycle?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The carbon cycle is nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms.

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.”
