Haplotype mtDNA
a region of DNA in the D-loop of mtDNA that varies between individuals
Mitochondrial DNA
DNA located on the mitochondria in cells that is inherited maternally
Haplogroups
a group of people with similar haplotypes who share a common ancestor
Why mtDNA
within the d-loop are two regions of DNA that undergo mutational change at a higher rate, thus mtDNA sequences differ between populations
DNA evidence
genetic studies can be used to determine when lineages seperated
Genome DNA
uses nuclear DNA to provide evidence for both maternal and paternal lineages, provides evidence for interbreeding with other species
