Over time, would you expect linkage disequilibrium among markers to be maintaine

Question

Over time, would you expect linkage disequilibrium among markers to be maintained, to increase, or to decrease?

Decrease, because random mutation will generate new SNPs that will give rise to new haplotypes

Decrease, because crossing over will break up the physical linkage among markers

Increase, because unequal crossing over will create between SNPs to decrease the physical distance between them

Increase, because positive selection will cause the haplotype to become more common

Be maintained, because there is no selective pressure to change the frequency of haplotypes in the population

A)

Decrease, because random mutation will generate new SNPs that will give rise to new haplotypes

B)

Decrease, because crossing over will break up the physical linkage among markers

C)

Increase, because unequal crossing over will create between SNPs to decrease the physical distance between them

D)

Increase, because positive selection will cause the haplotype to become more common

E)

Be maintained, because there is no selective pressure to change the frequency of haplotypes in the population

Explanation / Answer

it will decrease because random mutation will generate new SNPs that will give rise to new haplotypes.
