BIO 311D Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Population Genetics, Allele Frequency, Zygosity
Document Summary
Bio 311d, dr. donald levin, lecture #24, 27 march 2017 (all images are taken from dr. levin"s lecture slides, which are available on his website http://www. sbs. utexas. edu/levin/bio311d/) Review over some test questions: as long as the birth rate is greater than the death rate, the population will grow (exams will be gone over in greater detail during discussions) Observed and expected numbers and frequencies of mn blood types: to find the frequencies from blood type numbers and percentages, divide m by 2 and add m (to find p) or add n (to find q) Small a = q (2nd allele: allele frequency = gene frequency = gametic frequency. A = p: everything stays the same with random mating. But there are only about 0. 0001 mutations per cell on average. Parental age and mutation rate: as age increases, incidence of mutations also increase.
