MCQ
$SNP$ which is pronounced as $"snips"$ stands for
  • A
    Small Nuclear Protein
  • B
    Single Nucleotide Particle
  • ✓
    Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
  • D
    Small Nicking Points
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
c
Single nucleotide polymorphism $(SNP)$ is the most common type of genetic variation among people. Each $SNP$  represents a difference in a single $DNA$ building block, called a nucleotide. For example, a $SNP$ may replace the nucleotide cytosine $(C)$ with the nucleotide thymine $(T)$ in a certain stretch of $DNA.$
