Explanation:

One hundred and twenty-two AFLP markers were mapped using an IR64 x Azucena rice doubled-haploid (DH) population. The distribution of these mapped markers was monitored across a set of 48 diverse landraces of rice. Strong statistical associations were observed between 960 of the 7381 possible pairs of markers across the diverse material.

Answer:

when there are no parentheses around the base, this being -2 we put parentheses around the the 2 and the exponent so it will look like -(2^6) making whatever answer you get negative.

when you put parentheses around the base (-2)^6 you will get 64
