Question

in microsatellite analysis, what does a high number of shared alleles indicate?
no relationship between prides
distant relationship
close genetic relationship
competition between prides
what type of information is not provided by microsatellite dna analysis?
genetic relationships
migration patterns
hunting success rates
population diversity
how do scientists collect dna samples from lions for microsatellite analysis?
through blood samples
through behavioral observation
through pride size counting
through pride territory mapping

Explanation:

1. Alleles are gene variants. A high number of shared alleles in microsatellite analysis implies a close genetic relationship among individuals or groups.
2. Microsatellite DNA analysis focuses on genetic - related aspects such as genetic relationships, migration patterns, and population diversity. Hunting success rates are related to behavioral and ecological factors, not directly to genetic analysis.
3. To collect DNA samples for genetic analysis like microsatellite analysis from lions, blood samples are a common source of DNA. Behavioral observation, pride size counting, and pride territory mapping do not provide DNA samples.

Answer:

1. C. Close genetic relationship
2. C. Hunting success rates
3. A. Through blood samples
