________ uses the unique banding patterns of a chromosome to determine the general location of a gene.
A) Physical mapping
B) Cytogenetic mapping
C) Linkage mapping
D) Shotgun sequencing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytogenetic mapping uses the banding patterns of chromosomes to locate specific genes. Physical mapping involves determining the actual physical distances between genes, while linkage mapping involves determining the relative distances between genes based on their likelihood of being inherited together. Shotgun sequencing involves sequencing small fragments of DNA randomly and then assembling them into a complete genome sequence.
