Pleiotropy
Multiple effects from 1 mutation
Allelic heterogeneity
Multiple mutant forms have different effects on same gene
Locus heterogeneity
Multiple genes effect 1 pathway
Protein electrophoresis
Variation due to migration rate caused by differences in overall protein change
Restriction enzymes and southern blotting
Couple bacterial restriction enzymes with electrophoresis and probe that binds DNA fragments for visualizations of changes in DNA migration patterns
Nernst Equation

Receptors on postganglionic cell (excitatory)
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
amplify microsatellites, capillary electrophoresis, flourescent labels
dideoxy method
deoxynucleotides lacking hydroxyl group result in no additional nucleotides being able to be added
“Sanger sequencing” - see mutation up to point, check beyond the break
fluorochrome
labeled primers or dideoxynucleotides emit a distinct spectrum of light
microarrays
test many genes at 1 time, scan with a laser, read fluorescence
natural selection
survival or reproductive advantage
genetic drift
change with time
gene flow
mixing populations
founder effect
small population, mutations have large effects
