DNA Markers are DNA Polymorphisms That are Useful for Genetic

Question

DNA markers are DNA polymorphisms that are useful for genetic mapping.

Accepted Answer

DNA markers are indeed DNA polymorphisms that are useful for genetic mapping. They can be used to identify and track specific genes or regions of the genome, allowing for the construction of genetic maps that show the relative positions of genes along chromosomes. Common types of DNA markers include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), microsatellites, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs).
