Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A haplotype is a group of alleles that are inherited together on the same chromosome. In this case, the alleles at positions 4376, 5674, 6745, and 6799 are usually inherited together as a block, making it a haplotype rather than individual SNPs.

SNPs (A) are single nucleotide polymorphisms, which are variations in a single base pair of DNA.

LINE (C) and SINE (D) are types of transposable elements in the genome.

Pseudogenes (E) are non-functional copies of genes that have accumulated mutations over time.
