To study the maximum amount of genome diversity in humans, which of the following provides the most information?
A) SNP variation
B) ortholog comparisons
C) sequencing of one or more specific genes
D) karyotyping
E) DNA fingerprinting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) variation provides the most information on genome diversity in humans because SNPs represent the most common type of genetic variation among people. Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block, called a nucleotide. Since SNPs occur throughout a person's DNA, they provide a comprehensive view of genetic differences.
