It is made up of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T), and is held together by a combination of esthers, phosphates, and sugars. Although DNA contains genes much of it is structural. DNA Genealogy utilizes these structural and non-coding regions. text/html 2008-10-13T04:42:23-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/ftdna_2005?rev=1223890943&do=diff * P * P* * Q {MEH2, M242, P36} * Q* * Q1 {M120} * Q2 {M25, M143} * Q3 {M3} * Q3* * Q3a {M19} * Q3b {M194} * Q3c {M199} * Q3d {P106} * Q4 {P48} * Q5 {M323} * Q6 {M346} * R text/html 2008-10-12T06:45:38-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/isogg_2006?rev=1223811938&do=diff * P * P* * Q {MEH2, M242, P36} * Q* * Q1 {M120, N14 aka M265} * Q1* * Q1a {M378} * Q2 {M25, M143} * Q3 {M3} * Q3* * Q3a {M19} * Q3b {M194} * Q3c {M199} * Q4 {P48} * Q5 {M323} * Q6 {M346} * R text/html 2008-10-13T04:42:23-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/isogg_2007?rev=1223890943&do=diff * P * P* * Q {MEH2, M242, P36} * Q* * Q1 {M120, N14 aka M265} * Q1* * Q1a {M378} * Q2 {M25, M143} * Q3 {M3} * Q3* * Q3a {M19} * Q3b {M194} * Q3c {M199} * Q4 {P48} * Q5 {M323} * Q6 {M346} * R text/html 2008-10-04T00:38:35-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/maximum?rev=1223098715&do=diff Definition This is the upper bound or highest value in a range of results.

They should not be considered set or predictable like the ticking of a clock. Individual mutations are unpredictable like the number of times a year one forgets the car keys. They can be plotted over time though to create a backwards dating system with a reliability range. text/html 2008-10-13T04:42:25-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/npe?rev=1223890945&do=diff Definition See Also text/html 2008-10-04T01:09:56-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/phylogenetic_tree?rev=1223100596&do=diff Definition See Also text/html 2008-10-13T04:42:25-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/range?rev=1223890945&do=diff Definition See Also Maximum Minimum text/html 2008-10-04T00:27:03-06:00 http://m242.haplogroup.org/terminology/snp?rev=1223098023&do=diff Definition A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, SNP, is a change to a single position in DNA.
