Q117

AFLP molecular markers are . . . . . . . . in nuture.

A.
Dominant
Answer
B.
Co-dominant
C.
Recessive
D.
Neutral

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
1. AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) molecular markers are dominant in nature.
- They do not distinguish between homozygous and heterozygous individuals for a specific allele.

2. AFLP markers are widely used in genetic studies.
- They are useful for analyzing genetic diversity, constructing genetic maps, and identifying polymorphisms.

3. AFLP markers involve a PCR-based technique.
- This technique combines restriction enzyme digestion with selective amplification, enabling the detection of DNA polymorphisms.

4. Option A is correct because AFLP markers are dominant and provide valuable genetic information despite their inability to differentiate zygosity.
