Question

Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that may be caused by mutations in several genes that code for the production of alpha-synuclein. Individuals who have Parkinson’s disease exhibit symptoms such as uncontrollable tremors, difficulty walking, and loss of coordination. How might geneticists determine where the mutations that cause Parkinson’s disease are located?

Answer 1

a.PCR analysis
b.gene mapping
c.DNA fingerprinting
d.STR analysis

Answer 2

The correct answer to the question above is by gene mapping.(B)
The geneticists determine where the mutations that caused Parkinson's disease are located by running a gene mapping since Parkinson's disease is caused by mutations in several genes.
