C)protein stability studies
D)evolution studies

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SNPs have been extensively used in evolution studies as they provide a powerful tool to trace the evolutionary history of species and populations. By genotyping SNPs, scientists can reconstruct the evolutionary relationships among different species and populations, and infer their divergence and historical demographic processes. SNPs have also been used to study the genetic basis of adaptation and speciation, and to identify molecular markers for conservation and population management. In contrast, SNPs are not commonly used in VNTR copy number studies, epigenetic regulation studies, or protein stability studies.
