Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molecular geneticists look for candidate genes, which are genes that are believed to have a significant impact on a trait being studied. These genes may be identified through various methods, such as linkage analysis, genome-wide association studies, and functional studies. Paternal and maternal genes refer to the specific parent that contributes a gene, while mutated genes refer to a change in the DNA sequence of a gene.
