Document Summary
A group of organisms that tend to choose mates from within the group. Definition depends on the specific research question asked. Some individuals in the total population will be too young or old to mate. Cultural factors and geographic distribution may act to limit an individual"s choice of mate and as a consequence, some individuals will not breed. Is a measure of the relative proportions of different genotypes within a population. Obtained by dividing the number of individuals with each genotype by the total number of individuals. Aa = # aa / n aa = # aa / n. A measure of the relative proportion of alleles within a population. Computed by counting the number of each allele and dividing that number by the total number of alleles. A mathematical statement that assume: nonrandom mating, no evolutionary forces at work, allele frequencies will remain the same from one generation to the next.
