C.Chromosome map - a technique used in autosomal DNA testing which allows the testee to determine which segments of DNA came from which ancestor. In order to map DNA segments on specific chromosomes it is necessary to test a number of close family relatives.

D.Genotypic ratio – Ratio, in which the representation of an individual’s genetical constitution with respect to a single character or set of characters.

E.Karyotype - the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
