FINAL RESEARCH PAPER QUESTIONSAND ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
Ancestry - ANSWER What it does: It maps ethnicity going back multiple generations and provides insight
into such possibilities as: what region of Europe are my ancestors from, or am I likely to have East Asian
heritage? AncestryDNA can also help identify relationships with unknown relatives through a dynamic
list of possible DNA member matches.
Ancestry - ANSWER What results say: Your AncestryDNA results include information about your genetic
ethnicity estimates and identifies potential DNA matches, linking you to others who have taken the
AncestryDNA test.
Ancestry - ANSWER The AncestryDNA test uses microarray-based autosomal DNA testing, which surveys
a person's entire genome at over 700,000 locations
Ancestry - ANSWER our DNA test results also provide information that's more relevant and recent—
targeting your family history a few hundred or even a thousand years ago, as compared to the Y-
chromosome or mitochondrial DNA tests, which have a 10,000 to 50,000 year time focus.
Ancestry - ANSWER Thanks to advances in DNA technology we're able to compare your DNA to samples
from around the world, to find out more about your family's background and ethnic history—not ancient
history, but the people and places that matter to you.
Ancestry - ANSWER Autosomal DNA testing includes the other 22 pairs of chromosomes that aren't the X
or Y chromosome that determine your gender. Autosomal testing allows you to find family across all lines
in your family tree. That means both men and women can take the test, and the results are not limited
to just the direct maternal or paternal lines
Ancestry - ANSWER The ethnicity map is a quick and easy way for you to visualize and interact with your
DNA results. The fields of color on the map correspond to the colors in your ethnicity results pie chart.
Ancestry - ANSWER If you are an Ancestry subscriber, and you and your DNA match both have family
trees linked to DNA results, you will have access to a 'Map and Locations' map that may contain different
colored pins that indicate the birth locations of the ancestors in your tree (up to about 10 generations of
direct line ancestors), the birth locations of ancestors in your DNA match's tree, and overlapping birth
locations that appear in both family trees. Some pins have a graphic with two people, this represents
, more than one person in that location. There is a legend at the bottom of the map to help you
understand what the different colors of pins refer to on the map.
Ancestry - ANSWER Most people may have a percentage identified with 'Trace Regions' in their genetic
ethnicity results. Trace Regions are regions where the estimated range includes zero and does not go
above 15%, or where the predicted percentage is less than 4.5%. Since there is only a small amount of
evidence that you have genetic ethnicity from these regions, it is possible that you may not have genetic
ethnicity from them at all. This is not uncommon, and as more genetic signatures are discovered with a
higher confidence level, we may be able to update these Trace Regions over time.
Ancestry - ANSWER Although our ethnicity algorithms and prediction models will continue to improve
over time, there are a few reasons why your ethnicity estimate may not be exactly what you expected: 1.
Your genetic ethnicity may go back further than your family tree. 2. While your ancestors lived in a
certain country, there may have been genetic influence from other places. 3. You don't necessarily share
common DNA with all of your ancestors.
Ancestry - ANSWER The type of DNA that is being tested looks at ethnicity across both maternal and
paternal lines. It does not currently isolate ethnicity results to only your maternal or paternal line.
Ancestry - ANSWER AncestryDNA uses advanced scientific techniques to produce your results. We
measure and analyze a person's entire genome at over 700,000 locations. During the testing process,
each DNA sample is held to a quality standard of at least a 98% call rate. Any results that don't meet that
standard may require a new DNA sample to be collected.
Then we compare your DNA to one of the most comprehensive and unique collections of DNA samples
from people around the world, to identify overlap. As our database of DNA samples continues to grow,
you could receive updates with new information.
Ancestry - ANSWER The AncestryDNA test may predict if you are at least partly Native American, which
includes some tribes that are indigenous to North America, including the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The
results do not provide a specific tribal affiliation. (Please note that your AncestryDNA ethnicity results
cannot be used as a substitute for legal documentation.)
Slate - ANSWER DNA testing cannot definitively prove whether a person is Cherokee. Or a member of
any community, at least not reliably. To assume it can is to assume that there's something inherently
different in the genetic makeup of tribal members and that this thing is universal within that community.
That's not true.
