Q. Allelic sequence variations where more than one variant (allele) at a locus in a human population with a frequency greater than 0.01 is refered to as
A) Incomplete dominance
B) Multiple allelism
C) SNP
D) DNA polymorphism
Explanation
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.
