QTL mapping determines the relationship between genes for quantitative traits and which of the following?
A) the centromere
B) transposon sites
C) structural genes
D) molecular markers such as RFLPs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

QTL mapping involves finding associations between genes and quantitative traits. This is accomplished by looking for correlations between the presence of molecular markers such as RFLPs and the expression of the trait. Therefore, molecular markers such as RFLPs are the best answer.
