■ Note that if s = 0 (no difference in fitness for the homozygous recessive genotype), then the denominator is 1, and p (and thus q) will not change. As s increases, the denominator becomes less than 1, and p increases with each generation. See box 7.5 in your text for the derivation, which I do not expect you to know. 4 ample: Consider a rabbit whose running speed is determined by a single locus, with two alleles, R₁ and R2. R₁ is dominant to R₂, such that rabbits that are mozygous recessive for R₂ run slower and thus get eaten by fox more often. As
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.

Non-random mating
o Species can exhibit non-random mating in one of two ways: assortative mating
and disassortative mating. With disassortative mating, individuals tend to mate
with individuals that are more different. With assortative mating, individuals
tend to mate with individuals that are more similar. Here, we will focus on
assortative mating, which leads to inbreeding.
=
o Wright's F statistic represents the proportion of the population that is
inbreeding. Populations that are small (non-infinite) An extreme example of
inbreeding is when individuals can self-fertilize (aka ‘are selfing'). F is also the
likelihood that two alleles are identical by descent. This is because when a
population is inbreeding, eventually every locus in every individual is
homozygous with both copies identical by descent from a common ancestor. If
only a part of a population is inbreeding, then the part of the population that is
inbreeding will eventually become homozygous with both copies identical by
descent from a common ancestor.
=
O
In a nutshell, with inbreeding, the expected frequency of heterozygotes is
reduced by F and those frequencies get shifted to the homozygotes. See Box 7.9
in your text.

o Example: What are expected genotype frequencies for A₁ and A2 when f[A₁] = 0.7
and f[A₂] = 0.3, and 40% of the population is inbreeding (mating with close relatives).
Answer:
● fexp[A1A1] = p² +Fpq = 0.7*0.7 + 0.4*0.7*0.3 = 0.574
● fexp[A1A2] = 2pg (1-F) = 2*0.7*0.3 -2*0.7*0.3*0.4 = 0.252
● fexp[A2A2] =q² +Fpq = 0.3*0.3 + 0.4*0.7*0.3 = 0.174
Note that expected genotype frequencies should sum to 1.00. if not,
you have an error.
