In the 1960s, evolutionary biologists identified protein polymorphisms using ____, which allowed them to infer how much genetic variation exists within populations.
A) genome sequencing
B) gel electrophoresis
C) artificial selection
D) polymerase chain reactions
E) DNA microarrays

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gel electrophoresis was the technique used in the 1960s by evolutionary biologists to identify protein polymorphisms, enabling them to estimate the amount of genetic variation within populations. This method separates proteins based on their size and charge, allowing for the detection of variations.
