Explain the process of inheritance of haplotypes from parents to children
What will be an ideal response?
Haplotype is a set of HLA genes on one chromosome that is transmitted as a unit; each person has two haplotypes, each consisting of four HLA genes for a total of eight HLA proteins. This happens because chromosomes come in pairs. Unless two individuals are identical twins, there is a very remote chance for both to have the same HLA proteins. Each person receives one of two possible haplotypes from each parent. As such, each child has only one haplotype that is common with each parent and will have only one out of four possible combinations of haplotypes.
