Single nucleotide polymorphisms, frequently called SNPs (pronounced âsnipsâ), are the most common type of genetic variation among people. Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block, called a nucleotide.
Below is a definition of random assignment: Random Assignment Definition Random assignment is a procedure in conducting experiments in which each participant has the same probability of being assigned to a particular condition of the experiment.
Because it is generally extremely difficult for experimenters to eliminate bias using only their expert judgment, the use of randomization in experiments is common practice. In a randomized experimental design, objects or individuals are randomly assigned (by chance) to an experimental group. Using randomization is the most reliable method of creating homogeneous treatment groups, without involving any potential biases or judgments.
