Given below are a few statements

A. Codominant molecular markersIbe used for identification of heterozygotes.
B. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) _ (ii) _ be performed on germplasm with high genetic diversity.
C. An F2 mapping population ____ (iii) ___ be used as an immortal population for genetic mapping studies in plants.
D. Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) ___ (iv) ___ be used for mapping of monogenic qualitative traits.

Which one of the following options represents the correct sequence of terms to fill in the blanks in the above statements so that all the statements are true?

Correct option is D

EXPLANATION-

Statement A:
"Codominant molecular markers (i) ______ be used for identification of heterozygotes."
 Codominant markers (e.g., SSRs, SNPs) allow differentiation between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes.
 (i) = can

Statement B:
"Genome wide association studies (GWAS) (ii) ______ be performed on germplasm with high genetic diversity."
GWAS relies on linkage disequilibrium patterns, which are more informative in diverse germplasm.
 (ii) = can

Statement C:
"An F2 mapping population (iii) ______ be used as an immortal population for genetic mapping studies in plants."
 F2 populations are not immortal; they are temporary and must be regenerated or maintained.
 (iii) = cannot

Statement D:
"Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) (iv) ______ be used for mapping of monogenic qualitative traits."
BSA is commonly used for mapping monogenic traits, especially qualitative ones.
 (iv) = can

So, the correct option is (d) -  (i) can (ii) can (iii) cannot (iv) can
