Question

Give the nucleotide positions of all single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; nucleotide positions where individuals vary in a single nucleotide base) in these sequences. How many different haplotypes (sets of linked variants) are found in these eight sequences

Answer 1

1st has A and G whereas 2nd has C and T.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three common haplotypes present in the population. The first single nucleotide polymorphism has A and G alleles while on the other hand, the second single nucleotide polymorphism has C and T alleles. The four possible combinations of haplotypes for the above two single nucleotide polymorphisms are AC, AT, GC, and GT.
