Question 13-2: What would be the key advantages and disadvantages of using genom

Question

Question 13-2: What would be the key advantages and disadvantages of using genomewide genotype data as opposed to high-resolution sequence information from a few selected loci and sequence data from the entire genome in addressing questions of genetic origins of the New World and Remote Oceanian populations? Question 13-3: Suppose an ancient DNA study on the remains of Kennewick Man would recover mtDNA sequence from haplogroup E and nuclear DNA signatures similar to modern-day Central Asian populations. How would this evidence change our current interpretation of Native American origins?

Explanation / Answer

Ans-13-2 the advantage of using whole genome is that we will not miss even single nucleotide and can compare the whole data and it's disadvantage will be that it will be more time consuming and costly.

Ans-13 the similarities between the ancient DNA and central asian population DNA is the indicator of their common ancestry. We can interpret that they both shared common ancestors.
