6. The following haplogroup phylogenetic network illustrates the relationships between haplotypes of the D1 haplogroup. Samples were collected from individuals that self- identify as Korean (K), Han Chinese (H), and Tibetan (T). Each link between nodes of the network represents the genetic distance of a single mutation (as in a median-joining network). (3 points) ОК H Die ŌT Dia did D1h D1m D1g / Dik O D1b Dic/ Dif/ Dii Dj a) Individuals with what cultural affiliation(s) have haplotype D1d? b) What is the root mean distance of haplotype D1g (calculated for all haplotypes except D1g)? c) Haplotype D1f has a mean root distance of 1.91 mutations. Given your calculated mean root distance for haplotype D1g, would D1f or D1g be a better candidate for the root of this phylogenetic network? Why? Please answer in terms of the idea of maximum parsimony that was discussed during lecture.
