Question
Select all that applySelect all of the following that are true about SNPs.Multiple select question.They occur in less than 1% of the population.Several million have been identified in the human genome.They are single-base differences.They are short insertions.
Solution
The correct answers are:
- Several million have been identified in the human genome.
- They are single-base differences.
SNPs, or Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, are indeed single-base differences in the DNA sequence. They are very common in the human genome, with several million identified so far.
However, they do not occur in less than 1% of the population. In fact, they are quite common and can be found in more than 1% of the population.
Lastly, SNPs are not short insertions. They are single nucleotide variations, not insertions of additional nucleotides.
