Questions and Answers

Which factor contributes to the presence of variants in the human genome?

  • Mutations over animal and human evolution (correct)
  • Bottleneck and Founder effects on population size lead to genetic drift
  • Human migrations (gene flow)
  • Interbreeding with extinct hominins

    • 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?

  • Sequenced genomes from regions across the globe to generate haplotypes (correct)
  • Compared haplotypes to determine genetic drift
  • Used a random selection of individuals to determine haplotypes
  • Analyzed genomic data from a single population to determine variations

    • What is the main reason why there is no single reference genome that applies to all humans?
