Information obtained by microscopic analysis of stained
chromosomes is used in:
a. radiation hybrid mapping
b. sequence mapping
c. RFLP mapping
d. cytogenetic mapping

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is (d) 'cytogenetic mapping'.

Step by step solution

01

Definition

Chromosomes are visible thread-like structures that appear during cell division. Chromosomes are made up of chromatin.

02

Explanation

Cytogenetic mapping is a method for creating physical maps of chromosomes. Chromosomes are stained for this purpose, and their microscopic analysis is performed. This technique is used to calculate the distance between genetic markers.

As a result, option (d) ' cytogenetic mapping' is correct.

d. all of the above

In 2011, the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommended against using the PSA test to screen healthy men for prostate cancer. Their recommendation is based on evidence that screening does not reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer often develops very slowly and does not cause problems, while the cancer treatment can have severe side effects. The PCA3 test is more accurate, but screening may still result in men who would not have been harmed by the cancer itself suffering side effects from treatment. What do you think? Should all healthy men be screened for prostate cancer using the PCA3 or PSA test? Should people in general be screened to find out if they have a genetic risk for cancer or other diseases?

Individual genetic maps in a given species are:
a. genetically similar
b. genetically identical
c. genetically dissimilar
d. not useful in species analysis
