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.

What will be an ideal response?


ANS:
These alleles could be in either coupling or repulsion depending on how the researcher decides to refer to the four alleles.
