Men, not women, carry a Y chromosome, and it’s passed down father-to-son. Because the Y chromosome isn’t split and shuffled each generation, it’s a key signature for #ancestry.
In human #genetics, the #haplogroups most commonly studied are Y-chromosome (Y-DNA) haplogroups and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups, each of which can be used to define genetic #populations.
mtDNA or Y-DNA changes only by chance mutation at each generation with no intermixture between parents’ genetic material.

Definitions 🧵:
A #haplogroup is a combination of #alleles that tend to be inherited together.
An #allele is a variation of the same sequence of nucleotides at the same place on a DNA molecule.
#Haplogroups pertain to a single line of descent. As such, individual membership of a haplogroup relies on a small proportion of the #genetic material possessed by that individual.
Mothers pass on mitochondrial #DNA unmixed to all their children; so the #ancestry can be traced along the maternal line.

#Genetic Studies Reveal #Europe has at least Four Distinct #Population Groups | Studies of the regions of Y #chromosome that are inherited together (#haplogroups), reveal Europe has four population groups, namely #R1b-M269, I1-M253, I2-M438 and R1a-M420, pointing to...

I was talking #haplogroups with a cousin; she finally did a test that showed what her haplogroup was & we discussed mine. My late mother tested with 23andMe in 2013 as did I; my daughter tested w/ #23andme in 2017 and @ LivingDNA. She tested at #LivingDNA with a cheek swab & bought an extra for her daughter (my granddaughter) who was too young to fill a vial with spit at the time. All four generations show simply H as the haplogroup. My son tested @ 23andMe in 2017 and he is H3. How? #ancestry
