Question

This is from a recent news article on moming sickness during pregnancy"She persuaded the consumer gonotic tosting company 23andMle to incorporate questions about pregnancy sickness nto its surveys, enabling her and her colleagues to scan the genomes of thousands of the company's customers for DNA vaniations associafed with hyperemesiS. 23andMe uses Allele Specfhc Oligonucleotide micro-arrays for their analyses What would you expect expect to learn from the data gathered by 23andMe? O A The exact gene that causes morning sickness O B SNPs that are linked to a gene that might be causative of morning sickness O C SSRs that are linked to a gene that might be causative of moming sicknoss O D A chromosome translocation associated with moming sicknoss E An inversion associated with mormning sickness

Explanation / Answer

Since, 23andMe carries out Allele Specific Oligonucleotide micro-arrays for their analyses, hence:
B. SNPs that are linked to a gene that might be causative of morning sickness.

This is because if the analysis is allele specific then the gene is already known. Also because the probe that they would have used will only specific for picking up Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. It would not be able to detect inversion, SSRs and translocations.
