Want to know:
A researcher is studying two sets of linked loci in mice. Both sets consist of one mutant allele and one wild-type allele. For the first set of linked loci, the D value is 0.4. For the second set, the D value is 0.1. What can the researcher conclude?a. The mutant alleles in both sets of linked loci originated at the same time.b. Neither set of linked loci demonstrates linkage disequilibrium.c. The mutant allele in the second set of linked loci originated earlier than the mutant allele in the first set of linked loci.d. The mutant allele in the first set of linked loci originated earlier than the mutant allele in the second set of linked loci.
