Polymorphism It is the occurrence of more than one form of genetic material
Types →
- Allelic polymorphism – multiple alleles in a gene. So it alters structure and function of protein formed.
- SNP or single nucleotide Polymorphism – Unique in every human being. Useful in locating specific alleles, disease associated sequences.
- RFLP or Restriction Fragment Length polymorphism – Different sized fragments are formed by cleavage with same enzyme most RFPL have no effect on phenotypes.
