The haplotype data for the gene G6PD taken of samples from different parts of the world is presented in the following table:
a) A haplotype network for these haplotypes with the SNPs labeled would be:
b) The haplotype 3 has the most connections to other haplotype. In all, there are 12 haplotypes.
c) The haplotype 3 is found in Central Asia and in East Asia.
d) The number of differences between haplotypes 1 and 12 is six. They are:
• SNP 5 lost
• SNP 8 lost
• SNP 10 lost
• SNP 15 lost
• SNP 17 lost
• SNP 18 gained
