Answer:

D) disease genes are found in haplotype blocks.

Explanation:

Given the high allelic variability in the human genome, the probability that two unrelated individuals have the same haplotype is virtually none. This is why the study of haplotypes has become a useful tool in the determination of the genetic relationship between individuals, and therefore in the study of the origin of mutations causing various diseases.
