BIOL 2200 Study Guide - Panmixia, Coefficient Of Relationship, Snow Goose
Document Summary
Two types: assortative mating: individuals choose to mate with individuals with a specific phenotype which may be the same phenotype or a different one. Offspring will imprint on what their parent looks like. If the offspring see blue eggs they will mate with blue geese when they grow up. Can also have lots of populations with low densities so mate choice can be somewhat limited. Inbreeding can be a function of how big the population is. Probability that two alleles are identical by descent. Pi and pj are frequencies of i and j allele. F = probability of red or blue: f = 1/16 + 1/16 = 1/8, f = 1/8 = 0. 125 (1/2)4 = 1/16. There is a 50% chance that the orange triangle will be passed on from each parent each generation. A value of 1 is a lot of inbreeding. A value closer to 0 there is no difference between the selfed individuals and the outcrossed.
