question 18

Essay

Any two human beings typically have an estimated 0.1% difference in their nucleotide sequences, which is equivalent to about 3 million nucleotide differences.These differences are the basis of the SNPs used to construct genetic linkage maps.Some of these SNPs actually lie in the region of the DNA that codes for the protein, yet they have no effect on the phenotype of individuals carrying the SNP on both homologous chromosomes.Explain how some SNPs can lie within the portion of the DNA that codes for the protein and yet have no discernible effect on the protein's activity.
