B)twin spots and tetrad analysis
C)tetrad analysis and bromodeoxyuridine
D)zygotene and pachytene DNA synthesis
E)chiasmatype and classical analyses

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Methods for determining the linkage group and genetic map in humans involve DNA markers, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), microsatellites, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). These markers can be used to track the inheritance of specific chromosomal regions and determine the genetic distances between them. Twin spots and tetrad analysis, tetrad analysis and bromodeoxyuridine, zygotene and pachytene DNA synthesis, and chiasmatype and classical analyses are not commonly used methods for mapping in humans.
