The SNPs on a Chromosome Segment That Tend to Be

Question

The SNPs on a chromosome segment that tend to be inherited together define a genetic unit called a:
A) Phenotype
B) Genotype
C) Haplotype
D) Maplotype
E) Genome sequence

Accepted Answer

The SNPs inherited together define a haplotype, which is a genetic unit that consists of a set of closely linked genetic variants or alleles that are typically inherited together. A phenotype represents an individual's observable traits, a genotype represents an individual's genetic makeup, a maplotype is not a recognized term, and a genome sequence represents the entire DNA sequence of an organism's genome.
