Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic markers are variations in the DNA sequence that can be used to track inheritance of genes through generations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a common type of genetic marker where a single base varies among individuals in a population.

B, C, and D are not considered genetic markers as they do not reflect variations in the DNA sequence.
