Whyarrow_forwardWhat are geneticmutations?arrow_forward24. 23andme is a direct to consumer genotyping company that uses a microarray to genotype people on 1 million known SNPS in the genome. A man who was adopted wants to know about his ancestry, and purchases a 23andme kit for himself. He finds that of each autosome pair, exactly one is classified as 100% Sub-Saharan African, while the other is a mixture of various East Asian and European components. He also finds that his X chromosome is 100% Sub-Saharan African. What can this man confidently infer about his recent ancestry? a. His mother was of Sub-Saharan African descent b. His father was of Sub-Saharan African descent c. He has no Neanderthal ancestry d. He has no mutations relative to his parents e. 23andme mixed up two samples and he can't infer anythingarrow_forward
