Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA linkage analysis is a technique that examines how genes are inherited together in a family. Pedigree information is necessary for this analysis because it allows for the identification of individuals who carry the gene(s) of interest and their relationships to each other. DNA fingerprinting, sequencing, gel electrophoresis and genetic screening may not require or benefit from pedigree information.
