Native American populations in North and South America have mitochondrial DNA haplotypes that can be traced to populations in northeast Asia. The Aleut and Eskimo populations in the far northern parts of North America possess a subset of the same haplotypes that link other Native Americans to Asia, and also have several additional haplotypes that can be traced to Asian origins but are not found in native populations in other parts of the Americas. Which statement offers a possible explanation for this observation? The pattern of haplotypes in the Aleut and Eskimo populations suggests that their ancestors' migration into the American Arctic regions was separate from the migrations that eventually populated the rest of North and South America. The subset of similar haplotypes between the two populations suggests that the Native American populations with a link to Asia descended from the Aleut and Eskimo populations residing in the far northern parts of North America. Sharing a subset of the same haplotypes suggests that the Aleut and Eskimo populations migrated from Asia at the same time as the rest of the Native American populations linked to Asia. The pattern of haplotypes suggests that the Aleut and Eskimo populations developed single-nucleotide polymorphisms through new mutations after they migrated to North America.
