Question

What is molecular marker explain different types of molecular marker used in genome mapping?

Answer 1

Answer:

Molecular marker is the molecule present in the sample DNA and is very essential for detecting specified characters of that particular organism.

Explanation:

Molecular marker is also known as genetic marker which is a small part ( Fragment) of DNA.

There are different types of molecular markers say

1. RFLP  (Restriction Fragment Length polymorphism)
2. SSLP ( Simple Sequence length polumorphism)
3. AFLP ( Amplified Fragment length polymorphism)
4. RAPD ( Random amplification of polymorphic DNA)
5. VNTR (Variable number tandem repeat)
6. SSR Micro Satellite polymorphism
7. SNP ( single nucleotide polymorphism)
8. STR ( Short tendem repeat)
9. SFP (Single feature polymorphism)
10. DArT (Diversity Arrays Technology)
11. RAD markers. (Restriction site associated DNA Markers)
