D) karyotypes.
E) cytotypes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groups of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are closely linked and usually inherited together from one parent are called haplotypes. Genotypes refer to the combinations of alleles at a single gene locus, phenotypes are the observable traits resulting from the interaction of a genotype with its environment, karyotypes refer to the complete set of chromosomes in an organism's cell, and cytotypes refer to the different types of cells in an organism's body.
