Below is a picture from a chromatogram for the 4th SNP (bp 886) in the PTC tasting gene. Nucleotide Base Pair Position | Amino Acid Position | SNP Allele | Amino Acid Encoded 785 | 262 | C or T | Ala or Val 886 | 296 | G or A | Val or Ile Is this person a Homozygous Taster, Heterozygous Taster, Homozygous Non-taster, or can't be determined from the chromatogram? Select one: a. Homozygous Taster b. Heterozygous Taster c. Homozygous Non-Taster d. Can't be determined

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyping is the measurement of genetic variations of SNPs between individuals. SNPs are single base pair mutations at specific loci, usually consisting of two alleles and are one of the most common types of genetic variation. SNPs have been found to be involved in the etiology of many human diseases and are becoming of particular interest in reproduction. Briefly describe THREE experimental approaches researchers can use to define an individual's SNP genotype at a specific genomic location.
