The Use of SNPs for Analyzing Genomes is Based on ____

Question

The use of SNPs for analyzing genomes is based on ____.  
A) the nucleotide base pairing in the SNPs
B) the types of nucleotides in the SNPs
C) differences in SNPs among individuals
D) the ratio of purines to pyrimidines in SNPs
E) bonding patterns between nucleotides in the SNPs

Accepted Answer

The use of SNPs for analyzing genomes is based on differences in SNPs among individuals. SNPs are variations in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, and these variations can differ among individuals. By analyzing SNPs, researchers can identify genetic differences and associations with diseases or other traits. The other choices do not accurately explain the use of SNPs for analyzing genomes.
