Consider Two Microsatellite Loci (A, B), Each with Two Alleles

question 40

Essay

Consider two microsatellite loci (A, B), each with two alleles determined by the number of repeats of the microsatellite motif (A  15 or 17; B  27 or 31). You genotype an individual in this population and determine that its haplotype is 15/27 and 15/27. Are these alleles in coupling and/or repulsion? Explain your answer.
