Q

Hardy Weinberg Principal

A

Predicts allele frequency’s in non evolving pop

States alleles won’t change if :
•pop infinity large
•no mutations
•no natural selection
•mating is random

Q

What is genetic drift and how does if impact a population

A

Changes to alle frequency due to CHANCE

Causes a decrease in variation and allele fixation (only 1 allele exists)= All individuals would be homozygous for that allele

Strongest in small populations

Q

Types of genetic drift and what would the allele frequency post genetic drift reflect

A

Founder effect- few individuals leave and create new pop somewhere else

Bottleneck effect- Severe events cause drastic pop size decrease

It would reflect the survivors

Q

Mutations

A

Beneficial mutations are rare but becomes frequent due to natural selection

Harmful recessive alleles can remain in gene pool if there is a heterozygous advantage

Q

Non random mating and affect of inbreeding and self fertilization

A

Sexual selection=sexual dimorphism (differing male and female appearance)

Inbreeding and SF causes high frequency of homozygous genotypes in gene pool
