D) AAcc

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A haplotype refers to a combination of alleles at multiple loci that are transmitted together on the same chromosome. Since diploid organisms have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, a haplotype would reflect a single set of these alleles. Option A, ABc, correctly represents alleles from a single set of chromosomes for loci A, B, and C. Options B, C, and D include representations that either mix alleles from both sets of chromosomes or do not include all the specified loci.
