Reticulate evolution Flashcards
1
Q
What are the 7 processes that don’t follow a simple process of inheritance and random genetic drift?
A
Recombination Hybridisation Polyploidy Introgression Genome fusion Endosymbiosis HZT
2
Q
Explain what A and B blood group phenotypes do
A
A and B produce a glycosyltransferase that catalyses the production of A and B antigens in the blood from a precursor (the H antigen)
3
Q
What are the 6 common blood haplotypes?
A
A101 A202 B101 O01 O02 O09
4
Q
What is introgression?
A
The transfer of genetic information from one species to another as a result of hybridisation between them and repeated backcrossing
