BIOB51H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Mutation Rate, Mutation
Document Summary
Slide : though evolution is a thing of the past. Natural selection removes the unfavorable variances: gene and locus terms are interchangeable. Point mutations: mutations in single based parts: polymorphism: within one individual or one population. What properties of genes in genonomes have at least 2 alleles. How many variance exist in that population. Average how many of locus are het: estimates of poly. Higher (variance even if individuals homozygous) than mean: phenotypic analysis: gene product. Error = doesn"t look like base sepquence of dna: phenotype analysis would not capture this variation, single base subsitution= single change in a nucleotide, deleterious- lost by selection. Lost or fix( allele increase in frequency until selection) or maintained. Beneficial= fix: replacemnet= if new amino acid has same as old amino acid = no effect on fitness, no natural selection, mutations built over time, fitness stays the same. Held under same condition, adapted: high rate of mutation per genome.
