The scientists mapping the SNPs in the human genome noticed that groups of SNPs tended to be inherited together, in blocks known

as haplotypes, ranging in length from 5,000 to 200,000 base pairs. There are as few as four or five commonly occurring combinations of SNPs per haplotype. Integrating what you've learned throughout this chapter and this unit, propose an explanation for this observation.

Answer:

SNPs have shown that only 0.1 % of DNA sequences are different in the human genome between different individuals, thereby all the inherited phenotypic variation observed in our species is associated with only 0.1 % of differences at the genome level  

Explanation:

Haplotypes are block-like sequences of DNA that are inherited together due to low recombination rates. Moreover, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping is a very useful methodology used to map the site of SNP mutations (i.e., SNP variants). In this regard, it has been observed that there are approximately 10 million common SNPs in the human genome. These SNPs contribute to the wide range of phenotypic variation observed in human populations for different traits (e.g., eye color, hair, weight, height, etc). Moreover, researchers have determined that SNPs can be clustered into haplotypes, thereby haplotypes can be accurately sampled by as few as approx. 300,000 selected SNPs, which are sufficient to represent all of the genetic variation across different human genomes.

What is dna and its function in human body??
IRISSAK [1]
DNA is the genetic composition of the cells in the human body, think of it as the coding for a computer but for cells. These carry your genetic composition (blue eyes, Brown hair, tall, short blah blah blah) and traits like smart, funny, shy.
Hope that helps.

The _____ is commonly called bark. <br> epidermis<br> periderm<br> cuticle<br> vascular cambium
Gelneren [198K]
The correct answer should be the Periderm.

It is not as simple as this, of course and you would be wise to know that periderm is just a part of the overall concept that is bark, because bark is not a biological term.
