DNA Fingerprinting Flashcards
Genome sequences differ by ________ every 1000 to 1500 bases
1 nucleotide
Analysis of restriction fragments by southern blot reveals ______.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
Identify what type of polymorphism:
Repeats 10-50 base sequences in tandem
Variable number tandem repeats (VNTR)
Identify what type of polymorphism:
One or more nucleotide changes that affect the size of restriction enzyme products
RFLP
Identify what type of polymorphism:
Repwats 1-10 base pairs in tandem
Short tandem repeats (STR)
Identify what type of polymorphism:
Alterations of a single nucleotide
Single nucleotide polymorphism
How much % of the population is needed to consider a single nucleotide polymorphism?
1%
Each individual has how much SNPs?
11 million
Criteria for a polymorphism
Mutation:
Cannot be deadly
Must not disrupt normal reproductive functions
DNA Fingerprinting is aslo known as:
