within balance b/w mutation and delection

Allelic frequencies can equilibrium if the introduction of new alleles by a continuous mutation is balanced by the removal via natural selection New deleterious mutations, which could be completely recessive or partly dominant, are constantly arising spontaneously Natural selection removes them from the population, but there is an equilibrium between their appearance and removal. w(AA)=1 w(Aa)=1 w(aa)= 1-s

Alternative hypothesis: H1

An alternative hypothesis (H1) is the rival to the null and defines the rejection region • One-tailed: the region of rejection is in one tail of the sample • Our company's new drug works better than the competitor's • Two-tailed: the region of reject is in both tails of the sample • Our company's new drug works differently than the competitor's If we can reject the null hypothesis, we say there is evidence for the alternative hypothesis

Most populations are not at Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium

Assumptions are often not met: • Population has structure • Mating is often non-random • Many populations are quite small • Not all genotypes are equally viable

assumptions that genotype frequencies can be estimated: 5

1. All genotypes have equal survival and reproduction (no selection). 2. Mating is random with respect to genotype. 3. Effectively infinite (i.e. large) population size. 4. Mendelian segregation. 5. No mutation, migration, or population subdivision

Steps in X2 test

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses. 2. Count observed offspring numbers. 3. Calculate expected numbers under null hypothesis. 4. Calculate the test statistic. 5. Determine the number of degrees of freedom. 6. Compare X2 statistic with appropriate P value to determine whether the null hypothesis should be rejected.

The initial frequency of a new mutation in the gene pool is:

1/2N ex N=10000 1/2(10000)= 1/20000= 5x10^-5 = .9999995

There are two forms of human earwax: wet and dry. Wis a dominant allele that produces wet earwax. In a sample of Spaniards, you measure the following genotypes. What is the allele frequency of w? WW= 880 Ww =105 ww = 15

2(N) + Ww/ 2(Total population) 2(15)+105/2(1000)= 135/2000= .0675x100= 6.75%

The number of distinct phenotype categories for a polygenic trait produced by the segregation of additive alleles of a given number of genes (n) is calculated as:

2n+1

Genetic bottlenecks

A change in allele frequency following a dramatic reduction in the size of a population The survivors of the bottleneck are likely to have low levels of genetic diversity Allele frequencies are different from those of the original population and an increase in the level of inbreeding could be observed

genetic drift

A change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance events rather than natural selection.

natural selection

A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

AA Aa aa p^2 2pq q^2

Positive assortative mating reduces the frequency of heterozygotes Three kinds of matings occur:

AA × AA All offspring are AA aa × aa All offspring are aa Aa × Aa Only half of offspring are Aa The rest are homozygotes

variance

measure how far a set of random numbers are spread out from their mean

Calculate F of IBD

Add A(1) and A(2) = (1/2)^n (pop 1) + (1/2)^n (pop 2)

Evolution by Natural Selection

Change in the heritable characteristics of a population due to selection

coefficient of inbreeding (F)

Coefficient of inbreeding of individuals is the probability that a randomly chosen pair of homologous genes are identical by descent • If two individuals are unrelated: Fij = 0 • Their child is also not inbred: F = 0

Inbreeding

Continued breeding of individuals with similar characteristics Inbreeding is a form of non-random mating • Individuals preferentially mating with relatives • first cousins • second cousins • uncle-niece

Why doesn't selection eliminate all deleterious alleles?

Deleterious recessive alleles end up at a frequency where gain by mutation balances loss by selection A BALANCE

Neutrality

Despite the high mutation rates, most mutations are neutral • When calculating the probability of different outcomes under genetic drift, we assume that the A and a alleles do not confer differences in fitness

What determines how much polymorphism a population has?

Evolutionary Forces creating diversity Evolutionary Forces destroying diversity

Fixation index in the Subpopulation relative to the Total population.

FST= 2pq-H/2pq

Degrees of freedom (k) For simple null hypotheses:

For simple null hypotheses: k = number of categories - 1 • You lose a degree of freedom because the total number of observations is fixed • Some null hypotheses require expectations to be estimated from the data • Each time you estimate a parameter you lose a degree of freedom

Identity by descent (IBD)

Gametes will share the same allele as a consequence of descending from the same ancestor. This is caused by inbreeding.

heterozygote advantage

Greater reproductive success of heterozygous individuals compared to homozygotes; tends to preserve variation in gene pools.

deltaH

H-H'= 1/2N (H)

The heterozygosity (H) in the overall population is given by the mean of the two:

H= 2p(1)q(1) + 2p(2)q(2)/ 2

Modeling selection assumptions

HW assumptions • One locus, two alleles • Discrete generations • Variation in genotype fitness, relative fitness (w): represent AA as w(AA) ...etc

Testing Hardy Weinberg

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the standard null hypothesis of population genetics • Rejecting the null suggests that some evolutionary force is acting on the gene pool • As before, we use a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test to determine if the null is rejected

True NUll hyp

If the null hypothesis is true, the statistic will exceed the 5% critical value only 5% of the time

Allele fitness

In the current generations, let p be the allele frequency of A and q = 1 - p

Non-random mating can affect genotype frequencies because

Mates can be limited by geography • Mates can be chosen by their traits • Mates can be closer related to one another

Pearson's chi-squared test (test statistic)

Pearson's X2 allows you to summarize your observed data into a single value • Pearson's X2 statistic allows us to summarize how well our observed offspring numbers fit the expected numbers • Important: the sum uses counts not ratios AND takes over all offspring types

The rate of evolution via natural selection in a population is proportional to the additive genetic variance in the population • Thus narrow-sense heritability (h2) measures how well a population will respond to selecti

Balance between mutation and drift

When mutation and drift are in balance, a population can reach an equilibrium use use heterozygosity (H) as a measure of variation. H will be near 0 when a population is near fixation for a single allele (low variation), 1 when there are many alleles that have equal frequency (high variation)

multiple-gene hypothesis to investigate the patterns of inheritance produced in the length of the corolla in Nicotiana longiflora • East designed his experiment using true-breeding parental lines (short and long) • There is a small amount of variation in corolla length in each true-breeding strain, which suggests that gene-gene interactions or multifactorial effects produce some variability

Directional selection

occurs when natural selection favors one of the extreme variations of a trait Eliminates genetic diversity Under directional selection, the advantageous allele increases as a consequence of differences in survival and reproduction among different phenotypes • The increases are independent of the dominance of the allele, and even if the allele is recessive, it will eventually become fixed
