Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Finding and recording the location of genes is called:
A
matching.
B
mapping.
C
meshing.
D
combining.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gene mapping refers to the process of determining the location of genes on chromosomes. Today, the most efficient approach for gene mapping involves sequencing a genome and then using computer programs to analyze the sequence to identify the location of genes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic mapping-also called linkage mapping-can offer firm evidence that a disease transmitted from parent to child is linked to one or more genes. Mapping also provides clues about which chromosome contains the gene and precisely where the gene lies on that chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genome mapping is used to identify and record the location of genes and the distances between genes on a chromosome. Genome mapping provided a critical starting point for the Human Genome Project.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genome mapping is the process of finding the locations of genes on each chromosome. The maps created by genome mapping are comparable to the maps that we use to navigate streets. A genetic map is an illustration that lists genes and their location on a chromosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -Types of Gene Mapping While physical maps involve actual physical distances, often measured in number of base pairs, distances of genetic maps are based on genetic linkage information. There are many gene mapping methods, including comparative, physical, and genetic-linkage mapping.
