Genetics and Molecular Biology Flashcards
1
Q
What is the Hardy Weinburg Principle
A
P^2 + 2Pq + q^2 = 1
P + q = 1
2
Q
What are the 5 assumptions made when using the Hardy Weinburg Principle
A
- No Selection
- No Mutation
- No Mitigation
- Large Pop
- Random Mating
3
Q
What are Orthologs
A
Genes separated by speciation
4
Q
What are paralogs
A
Genes separated by gene duplication
5
Q
What is an intron
A
A segment of a DNA or RNA molecule which does not code for proteins and interrupts the sequence of genes
6
Q
What is an exon
A
A region of the genome that ends up within a mRNA molecule. Coding regions
