Lecture 7/8 Flashcards
1
Q
Gene pool
A
collection of different genes within an interbreeding population.Relates to the amount of alleles aswell
2
Q
Allelic Frequencies
A
Proportion of an allele in the gene pool
3
Q
Genotypic frequencies
A
proportion of population having a specific genotype
4
Q
Allele fixation
A
one allele becomes the only version of a gene present in a population, replacing all other alleles.
5
Q
5 criteria for HWE
A
- No Mutation
- Mating is random
- No migration
- Large stable population
- No Natural selection
6
Q
Gene Flow
A
exchange of gene material to another population. Based on migration
7
Q
Genetic Drift
A
Change in allele frequency in a population
8
Q
Bottleneck
A
Natural disaster takes out the population and leaves a small amount of traits. No selection completely random.
9
Q
Founder Effect
A
Small subset of population migrates and increases a traits appearence
