In which species or population would haplotype mapping be particularly challenging or practically impossible?
A) A salamander species that has a particularly large genome size
B) Dogs, because of the large number of breeds
C) Pufferfish, which have a relatively small genome size (for a vertebrate)
D) Cheetahs, because they have extraordinarily little genetic diversity
E) A species of ant that has a large number of chromosomes

Haplotype mapping relies on identifying genetic variation within a population. Cheetahs have very little genetic diversity due to a population bottleneck in their recent history, making it very difficult to identify genetic variation and construct haplotypes.
