If an inheritable mutation is observed in a population at high frequency, it is referred as

  • DNA polymorphism

  • Expressed sequence tag

  • Sequence annotation

  • Linkage

  • Linkage


A.

DNA polymorphism

DNA polymorphism is any difference in the nucleotide sequence between individuals.

Expressed sequence tag is a short sequence of a cDNA sequence. It is used to identify gene transcripts.

Sequence annotation is the process of marking specific features in a DNA, RNA or protein sequence with descriptive information about structure or function.

Linkage is the presence of two different genes on the same chromosome.

Triplet codon or genetic code is the code of three nucleotides which determine one amino acid in a protein.
