Given below are two statements:
Statement I: If more than one variant (allele) exists at a locus in a human population with a frequency less than 0.01 and this is inheritable mutation, it is referred to as a DNA polymorphism.
Statement II: After hybridisation of sample DNA fragments with VNTR probe, its autoradiogram gives many bands of differing sizes which give a characteristic pattern for an individual DNA.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct option:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Allelic sequence variation has traditionally been described as a DNA polymorphism if more than one variant (allele) at a locus occurs in human population with a frequency greater than 0.01. In simple terms, if an inheritable mutation is observed in a population at high frequency, it is referred to as DNA polymorphism.
