Which parts in a nucleotide change and what parts stay the same?

A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip) is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide - A, T, C, or G - in the genome (or other shared sequence) differs between members of a species or paired chromosomes in an individual. For example, two sequenced DNA fragments from different individuals, AAGCCTA to AAGCTTA, contain a difference in a single nucleotide. In this case we say that there are two alleles: C and T. Almost all common SNPs have only two alleles.Within a population, SNPs can be assigned a minor allele frequency - the lowest allele frequency at a locus that is observed in a particular population. This is simply the lesser of the two allele frequencies for single-nucleotide polymorphisms. There are variations between human populations, so a SNP allele that is common in one geographical or ethnic group may be much rarer in another.


What feature is most often used to define a state border when longitude and latitude are not used be specific in the US?

they are defined by rivers, ridges, coastlines or lines not parallel to lines of latitude and longitude. Examples of states like this are: Washington D.C. (almost diamond shape), New Jersey and Hawaii (undefined territorial waters)

What happens to UGMA if minor dies?

If a minor dies, the assets held in a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) account would typically become part of the minor's estate and be distributed according to the minor's will or intestacy laws. The assets would be managed by the executor or administrator of the minor's estate in accordance with applicable state laws.

What is allel frequency?

Allele frequency is the frequency at which a particular allele occurs in a population. For example, the genes for eye color involves many alleles: blue, brown, green, hazel. etc. Allele frequency refers to how often each expression shows up in a population, so for example in America the allele frequency for blue eyes may be 25%, hazel 15%, green 5% and brown 50%, with 5% left for other minor alleles. This would mean approximately 50% of the alleles for eye color in the American population are the "brown" variant.
