Risk Estimations

Question 1

5 HW Assumptions

Answer 1

Large population
Random matings
No mut
Individuals equally capable of mating/passing on genes
No migration

Question 2

2 Kinds of Nonrandom Mating in Humans

Answer 2

Assortative Mating - select ptypically similar partners (deaf and deaf)
Cosanguinity

Question 3

Coefficient of Inbreeding

Answer 3

Proportion of alleles for which an individual is homozygous by descent

Question 4

Genetic Drift (2)

Answer 4

When allele frequencies fluctuate b/w generations just by chance (usually in smaller pops)
Founder effect is one kind

Question 5

Gene Flow

Answer 5

Slow diffusion of genes across a barrier, migrating pops cause a change in allele freqs
