Question:
SNPs in Human Genome Project refers to:
SNPs in Human Genome Project refers to:
Show Hint
SNPs = Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms — changes at one base in the DNA.
Updated On: Jun 19, 2025
- Polymorphism in repetitive sequences.
- Single-base DNA differences.
- Single changes in nucleotide of mRNA.
- Loss or gain of a gene function.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) are the most common type of genetic variation among people. They involve a difference at a single base pair in the DNA sequence. The Human Genome Project identified these as critical markers for genetic traits and diseases.
