Which of the following analysis would be most effective in identifying a disease-causing gene variant inherited from a parent,or one that has arisen in the child?
A)Law of independent assortment
B)Pedigree analysis
C)Dihybrid cross
D)Family exome analysis

Family exome analysis involves sequencing the exome (all the protein-coding regions of the genome) of affected individuals and their unaffected family members. This can help identify disease-causing gene variants inherited from parents or those that have arisen in the child. Pedigree analysis and dihybrid cross can be helpful in identifying the mode of inheritance of a disease-causing gene variant, but they may not be as effective in identifying the specific gene variant. The law of independent assortment is a basic principle of genetics related to the inheritance of unlinked genes and would not be directly applicable in identifying a specific disease-causing gene variant.
