A
SNPs
B
Simple sequence repeats
C
Large scale deletions
D
Minisatellites
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of genomic variations listed: SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), Simple sequence repeats, Large scale deletions, and Minisatellites.
Recognize that SNPs are variations at a single nucleotide position in the DNA sequence among individuals.
Learn that Simple sequence repeats are short sequences of DNA that are repeated in tandem, often found in non-coding regions.
Identify that Large scale deletions involve the loss of large segments of DNA, which can affect multiple genes.
Minisatellites are longer sequences of repeated DNA, typically found in specific regions of the genome, such as telomeres.
