10 - GENES IN POPULATIONS, HARDY WEINBERG THEORY

Question 1

what are some processes involved in evolutionary change

Answer 1

Question 2

what is a haplotype

Answer 2

sequences that we can study that are from a section of one of the two homologous chromosomes

Question 3

what are some differences that can be seen between different haplotypes

Answer 3

single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
indels
microsatellites

Question 4

what is a microsatellite

Answer 4

small pieces of DNA that repeat

Question 5

how do genetics at the population level work

Answer 5

Question 6

example of genotype frequency notation and calculation

Answer 6

should add up to 1

Question 7

what is the notation for allele frequencies

Answer 7

Question 8

what are the conditions that need to be true if we want to calculate the genotype frequencies in the next generation if we know the genotype frequencies in the current generation?

Answer 8

Question 9

how can we calculate the genotype freqs in the next generation if we know them in the current generation?

Answer 9

these freqs will remain unchanged (provided the conditions of random mating and no evolution are still true)
