Practice question
Question
Given below are four statements regarding the use of marker assisted selection (MAS) in plant breeding. A. Markers that are not linked to target traits cannot be used to test accumulation of the desired recurrent parent's genetic background in a backcross breeding program. B. Co-dominant markers are more effective for marker assisted backcrossing since they facilitate selection of heterozygous progeny. C. MAS can be used to facilitate backcrossing of recessive genes that influence traits of interest. D. Use of tightly linked flanking makers for a trait of interest increases linkage drag in a breeding program. Which one of the following options represents a combination of all INCORRECT statements?
Explanation
Analysis of given below are four statements regarding the shows A and D represents established outcome. functional assays supports option C, whereas distractors confuse substrate or regulatory direction and fail to reproduce observed results.
