Allelic sequence variation where more than one variant allele at a locus in a human population with a frequency greater than 0.01 is referred to as

  • DNA polymorphism

  • Multiple allelism

  • SNP

  • EST

Solution

A.

DNA polymorphism

Allelic sequence variation is described as DNA polymorphism if more than one variant (allele) at a locus occurs in the human population with a frequency greater than 0.01. In simple terms, if an inheritable mutation is observed in a population at high frequency. It is referred to as DNA polymorphism.
