- Mutations over animal and human evolution (correct)
- Bottleneck and Founder effects on population size lead to genetic drift

- Interbreeding with extinct hominins
What is a haplotype?
What is a haplotype?
- A predicted variation within a population
- A specific location on a chromosome
- A genotype inherited from one of the parents (correct)
- A sequence of DNA that codes for a specific trait
What did the 1000 Genomes project consortium do to develop ethnic haplotypes for use as reference genomes?

- Compared haplotypes to determine genetic drift
- Used a random selection of individuals to determine haplotypes
