1. Why do you think SNPS are more commonly found in intergenic regions ? a.Because intergenic regions code for proteins that can tolerate mutations much better than regulated genes b.Because intergenic regions are made of sequences of single nucleotides, whereas coding regions are made of sequences of tri-nucleotides called codons c.Because DNA polymerase is more likely to make replication mistakes in intergenic regions than within gene sequences d.Because changes to nucleotides within genes (either in promoters or coding sequence) are more likely to have phenotypic effects, and be selected against through evolution.

Question
1. Why do you think SNPS are more commonly found in
intergenic regions ?
a.Because intergenic regions code for proteins that can
tolerate mutations much better than regulated genes
b.Because intergenic regions are made of sequences of
single nucleotides, whereas coding regions are made of
sequences of tri-nucleotides called codons
c.Because DNA polymerase is more likely to make
replication mistakes in intergenic regions than within gene
sequences
d.Because changes to nucleotides within genes (either in
promoters or coding sequence) are more likely to have
phenotypic effects, and be selected against through
evolution.
