Pregunta 13
Pregunta
Assuming a person is heterozygous, what do we need to know once markers for the alleles have been identified?
Respuesta
-
Which marker is segregated with which allele i.e A1D A2d, or A1d A2D
-
Which allele is diseased i.e. D or d
-
Which marker has bonded correctly
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
What is the difference between phase known and phase unknown?
Respuesta
-
In phase known, we know which allele contains the diease
