Population genetics
study of genetic variability within a population and of the forces (the 5 factors) that act on it
variability in evolution is the
prerequisite of eveloution
does all 5 factors have to be met for there to be proof evolutionary change happening
yesss
what are the 5 factors responsible for evolutionary change
-nonrandom mating (mate choice,AKA sexual selection)
-mutation (change in DNA sequence)
-genetic drift
-gene flow
-natural selection
basis of evolution is
genetics
we study eveloution in
population not individuals
variation is needed
for natural selection
variations are due to
enviorment (selects variation)
and heredity
gene pools
all alleles for all genes present in the population
what is a gene pool used to compare
-genotype frequency
-phenotype frequency
-Allele frequency
frequncy is
how many they are to the whole
example of genotype frequncy
percentage of genotype of the whole
example of phenotype frequncy
how many red or pink pigs of the populations
example of a allele frequency
Allele how many big A or little a of a gene pool
Hardy weinberg created the mathematical model
genetic equilibrium which acts like a null hypothesis or like a basis
genetic equiblibrium
allele and genotypes frequencies do not change between generations (no eveloution)
Genetic equilibrium is
rare and it doesn’t happen in nature but can be done in the lab
genetic equilibrium creates a model for
comparing anything different from genetic equilibrium shows evolution happening
H-W formulas (don’t have to memorize but should know how to use)
Alleles=P+Q=1
Individuals= P^2+2pq+q^2=1
P
dominant
q
recessive
P^2
homozygous dominant
2qp
heterozygous dominant
