Santolaya - Population Genetics

Question 1

genetic drift

Answer 1

this would be if we have small small so on a micro level instead of macro. BEcause it is a small family the odds of getting the disease is higher.

Question 2

founder effect

Answer 2

One person is a big mater and all of his alleles are in the offspring.

Question 3

bottleneck

Answer 3

populations in history are constricted and then expanded.

Question 4

Conditional probability
Joint probabilities
Posterior Probabilities

Answer 4

cp - odds of being a carrier using the information that others are carriers.
jp - conditional x prior
pp - joint / all joints

Question 5

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Criteria

Answer 5

1) Random mating
2) no changes in population due to migration
3) no fluctuations in allele frequency due to natural selection, genetic drift, founder effect, bottleneck, inbreeding
4) no positive or negative selection
