Concept explainers

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.

Quantitative Genetics

Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.

7. In a study of a Native tribe in North America, researchers found 26 albino individuals in a population of 6000. The type of albinism found is controlled by a single gene with just two alleles, and albinism is recessive to normal skin coloration. a. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, what is the frequency of the allele for albinism in this population? b. What is the frequency of carriers of the albinism allele (i.e., heterozygous) in this population, again assuming Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?

15. Imagine evolution of allele frequencies on an island under these conditions: **The population on the adjacent continent is fixed for allele A₁.**Conditions on the island favor A2 ; fitness of A,A₁, AA₂, and A2A2 genotypes are: 1, 1+s, and 1 + 2s. **There is a migration rate of m individuals/N per generation from the continent. = 5 x 104, what will be the a) Given that s = 0.01 and m equilibrium frequency of A₂? What will this mean for local adaptation?" Answer: b) If m = 0.5, what will happen to the frequency of A₂? What is this phenomenon called and what will this mean for local adaptation? ( Answer: c) Does gene flow always have a negative effect on adaptation? If no, explain how a positive effect of gene flow on adaptation might arise. (points) Answer: 16. It is now common to score thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in many individuals sampled from several populations.
