W7L3 mutation and selection balance and response to selection

Question 1

Selection in perspective to evolution

Answer 1

Selection is the strongest evolutionary force acting within population and leading to a loss of genetic diversity.

Question 2

The conceptual frame work of evolutionary process

Answer 2

Question 3

Selection on genotypes within a population

Answer 3

Question 4

Wright’s Formula of selection

Answer 4

Question 5

Calculating the change in p in after a generation

Answer 5

Question 6

Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the expected genotypic
frequency after selection?

Answer 6

Question 7

Extension of Wright’s Formula to one locus with multiple alleles

Answer 7

Question 8

Complex case of two loci with linkage (Kimura 1956)

Answer 8

Question 9

The Theorems of Natural Selection

Answer 9

Question 10

Assumption from the Breeder equation

Answer 10

The response to selection is rarely straightforward and is ALWAYS less than the selection differential applied.
This relationship is called the Breeder’s equation which predicts how a population will respond to selection under the hypothesis of linear selection.

Question 11

The Breeder’s equation Based on the response to selection over one generation
