Which of the following is consistent with a history of positibe selection but not genetic drift a. common haplotype exhibiting weak linkage disequilibrium b a rare haplotype showing strong linkage disequilibrium c. a common haplotype in a region of high recombination d. a rare haplotype in a region of low recombination e. higher frequency and higher linkage disequilibrum that other alleles at the same locus Solution c. a common haplotype in a region of high recombination is consistent with positive selection Genetic drift is usually one of the reasons of linkage disequilibrium, so linkage disequilibrium could be thought to be asociated with Genetic drift. If a common haplotype is ina region on of high recombination, there are greater chances of being it to transmitted to the next generations and thus positively selected..

1. Which of the following is consistent with a history of positibe selection but not genetic drift
a. common haplotype exhibiting weak linkage disequilibrium
b a rare haplotype showing strong linkage disequilibrium
c. a common haplotype in a region of high recombination
d. a rare haplotype in a region of low recombination
e. higher frequency and higher linkage disequilibrum that other alleles at the same locus
Solution
c. a common haplotype in a region of high recombination is consistent with positive selection
Genetic drift is usually one of the reasons of linkage disequilibrium, so linkage disequilibrium
could be thought to be asociated with Genetic drift. If a common haplotype is ina region on of
high recombination, there are greater chances of being it to transmitted to the next generations
and thus positively selected.
