Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a genetic variation that occurs when one nucleotide in a DNA sequence is altered, and is found in at least 1% of the population. SNPs can be used as genetic markers and have been associated with various diseases and traits. Short tandem repeats (A) are repeated sequences of two to five nucleotides that vary in length between individuals. Recombinant DNA (B) is DNA that has been artificially modified in a laboratory, often by combining DNA from different sources. Variable DNA (C) is not a commonly used term in genetics, and may refer to any part of the genome that exhibits variation. However, it is not a specific term for describing genetic variation at the nucleotide level.
