Which one is the incorrect statement with regard to the importance of pedigree analysis?
- A It confirms that \(DNA\) is the carrier of genetic information.
- B It helps to understand whether the trait in question is dominant or recessive.
- C It confirms that the trait is linked to one of the autosome.
- D It helps to trace the inheritance of a specific trait.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) It confirms that \(DNA\) is the carrier of genetic information.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(a): Pedigree analysis is a system of analysis by following the movement and distribution of certain genetic traits in many generations of a family. Pedigree analysis cannot confirm that \(DNA \) is the carrier of genetic information because it is an analysis system. For \(DNA\) based experiments, molecular biology techniques are used.
