Question

slight variations in genetic makeup are called what?
nucleoids
pris
snps
multiple nucleotide polymorphisms

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Nucleoids are related to prokaryotic DNA organization, not genetic variations.
• PRIs are not a term for genetic variations.
• SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) are single - base - pair variations in DNA, which are slight genetic makeup variations.
• "Multiple nucleotide polymorphisms" is an incorrect term; the correct term for multiple - base variations is not this, and SNPs are single - base, but the key is that SNPs are the correct term for slight genetic variations among the options.

Answer:

C. SNPs
