Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of genomic variations: Genomic variations refer to differences in the DNA sequence between individuals. These variations can be large or small, affecting different parts of the genome.
Identify examples of large genomic variations: Large genomic variations typically involve changes that affect a significant portion of the genome, such as structural variations, copy number variations, or large insertions/deletions.
Examine the options provided: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), simple sequence repeats, dominant and recessive alleles, and minisatellites.
Analyze each option: SNPs are small variations involving a single nucleotide change. Simple sequence repeats and minisatellites involve repetitive sequences, which can vary in length but are not considered large genomic variations.
Clarify the concept of alleles: Dominant and recessive alleles refer to different versions of a gene that can affect traits, but they do not represent large genomic variations between genomes. They are more about gene expression and inheritance patterns.
