what is the probability of an allele equal to?
its frequency
1 of 31
what does Mendel's law state?
Segregation of alleles of a gene in formation of reproductive cells
2 of 31
How can you test whether genotypic ratios in offspring follow Mendelian inheritance?
Chi-squared test (X^2 test)- in this case Chi-squared goodness of fit because testing against distribution
3 of 31
what are the other Chi-squared tests?
Chi squared test of association, Chi squared test of homogeneity
4 of 31
should frequencies or number be used in chi-squared tests?
always numbers
5 of 31
A dominant over a. In offspring of a Aa x Aa cross what is the probability of phenotype A?
75%
6 of 31
what is the most common mode of variation at the DNA level?
mostly codominant
7 of 31
what are the most widely used molecular markers in population genetics?
allozymes (isozymes, protein variants)
8 of 31
which DNA based methods are used in population genetics?
1) RFLP analysis 2) PCR 3) sequencing
9 of 31
how is Allozyme or DNA analysis carried out?
Run an extract/PCR product of individuals on a gel: separate molecules on charge- measure differences in velocity in the gel
10 of 31
what is the Hardy Weinburg principle used for?
calculate expected genotype frequencies under 'random' mating in 'ideal' population
11 of 31
what is an ideal population?
diploid, sexual reproduction, nonoverlapping, generations, large populations, no effect of natural selection etc.
12 of 31
Let p be the allele frequency of A and q the allele frequency of a, what are the frequencies for the genotypes?
p^2 for AA, 2pq for Aa, q^2 for aa
13 of 31
What is the maximum frequency of heterozygotes in a population? (according to Hardy Weinburg)
50%
14 of 31
what is the test for presence of HW equilibrium?
Chi squared goodness of fit test
15 of 31
what does the Chi squared goodness of fit test do, in this context?
Tests whether there is a significant difference between genotype numbers observed and genotype numbers expected under HW
16 of 31
how many degrees of freedom is there for 3 genotypic classes?
1
17 of 31
If the calculated chi-square value is less than the 0 .05 value in the table, what do we do with the hypothesis?
we accept it, if it was greater- accept it- if we accept, means the population is in HW equilibrium
18 of 31
when can examples of the HW principle become more complicated?
1) If sex-linked (gene is on X chromosome) 2) If dominant/recessive alleles 3) If more than two alleles 4) If you have polyploids (too complicated)
19 of 31
when can deviations from HW happen?
1) Inbreeding 2) Population structure 3) Mate choice 4) Selection against/for certain genotype
20 of 31
when does inbreeding happen?
1) Plants that self-fertilise 2) Mating between related individuals
21 of 31
what happens to the genotype frequencies with inbreeding?
Excess homozygote genotypes relative to the frequencies expected with random mating
22 of 31
what halves number of heterozygotes every generation?
self-fertilisation
23 of 31
what lowers proportion heterozygotes in subpopulations, relative to expected?
structure
24 of 31
what is assortative mating, or positive assortative mating?
similar individuals mate more often than expected under random mating
25 of 31
what is disassortative mating or negative assortative mating?
dissimilar individuals mate more often than expected under random mating
26 of 31
What do you predict with assortative mating?
Less heterozygotes than in HW (deficit)
27 of 31
what is an example of assertive mating?
flowering time differences
28 of 31
what are examples of disassortive mating?
SI system in plants, MHC in mammals
29 of 31
selection with heterozygote advantage you predict to find what?
More heterozygotes than expected
30 of 31
with Hybridisation, often heterozygotes less fit so you would predict to find what?
Deficit heterozygotes, less
