Questions and Answers

What is a haplogroup?

  • A group of different haplotypes that share a common ancestor with a single-nucleotide polymorphism mutation
  • A group of similar haplotypes that share a common ancestor with a single-nucleotide polymorphism mutation (correct)
  • A combination of alleles at different chromosomal regions that are not closely linked
  • A group of alleles that are inherited together from both parents

What does a haplotype consist of?

  • A combination of alleles at different chromosomal regions that are closely linked and tend to be inherited together (correct)
  • A combination of alleles at different chromosomal regions that are not closely linked
