prevalence of inherited disorders L6 Flashcards
polymorphism=
2 or more variants of alleles
rare allele=
less than 1% population
exons=
coding region
introns=
non coding region
restriction fragment length polymorphism
restriction enzymes each recognise a specific DNA sequence to cleave
What type of polymorphism is short tandem repeats
length polymorphism
3 uses of polymorphism
genetic marker
genetic fingerprinting
forensics
what does genetic fingerprinting use
microsatallites
evolution will not occur if
infinite population size
no mutation
all mating is random
hardy weinburg equation 1
p+q= 1
hardy weinburg equation 2
p2+ 2pq + q2= 1
p =
frequency of dominant allele
p2=
homozygous dominant frequency
2pq=
heterozygous frequency
q2=
homozygous recessive frequency
