Which of the following statements about Mendelian or complex disease is TRUE?   Question options:   Genetic methods for studying Mendelian phenotypes, such as crossing, is not useful for mapping quantitative trait loci.   Mapping of quantitative trait loci does relies on genetic variations that directly contribute to the trait of interest.   Both Mendelian and complex traits are associated with single gene locus.   Genetic factors determine Mendelian traits, while environmental factors determine complex traits.   Genome-wide association studies rely on polymorphic markers that are in linkage disequilibrium with alleles that contribute to the trait of interest.
