Population Genetics
Emerged in the 1920s Founders: R.A. Fisher, Sewall Wright, J.B.S. Haldane Provided the mathematical foundations for the evolutionary process Also important in: e.g. Agriculture, medical and human genetics, bacterial resistance, evolution of virulence
Population Genetics
What are the levels of genetic variation in populations? How do different mating patterns affect genotype and allele frequencies? What forces are responsible for changes in the genetic composition of populations? Mutation, Migration, Genetic drift, Natural selection
Phenotype M MN N TOTAL Genotype MM MN NN Obs # 180 240 80 500 Genotype 180/500 240/500 80/500 proportions = 0.36 = 0.48 = 0.16
1. Using the numbers of various genotypes observed in the population p = freq(M) = # of M alleles/total alleles = (2 x 180 + 240)/ (2 x 500) = 0.6 q = freq(N) = # of N alleles/total alleles = (2 x 80 + 240)/ (2 x 500) = 0.4 Note that the alleles frequencies p + q = 1 or you've made a mistake. 2. Using the proportions of each genotype. p = freq (MM) + 1/2 x freq (MN) = 0.36 + 0.48/2 = 0.6 q = freq (NN) + 1/2 x freq (MN) = 0.16 + 0.48/2 = 0.4

Begin with complete linkage disequilbrium with just AB and ab combinations of alleles at equal frequency and allow random mating and recombination with r = 0.5. Eventually there is decay of linkage diseq and we end up with equal freqs of AB Ab aB ab in the population. In subsequent slides, small r-values reduce rate of decay

So even with a 1cm distance between genes and 200 generations the disequilibrium has not yet fully decayed
