Section 1: Genetic EquilibriumSection 1: Genetic Equilibrium

Variation of Traits In a Variation of Traits In a PopulationPopulation

• Population GeneticsPopulation Genetics– Microevolution vs. macroevolutionMicroevolution vs. macroevolution– Range of variations Range of variations – Bell curveBell curve

• Causes of VariationCauses of Variation– MutationMutation– RecombinationRecombination– Random fusion of gametesRandom fusion of gametes

Allele Frequencies and Gene Allele Frequencies and Gene PoolPool

• Gene poolGene pool

• Allele frequencyAllele frequency

• Phenotype frequencyPhenotype frequency

• Calculating allele frequencyCalculating allele frequency– Must add up to 1Must add up to 1– 1- freq. RR – freq. rr = freq. of Rr1- freq. RR – freq. rr = freq. of Rr

• Maintaining Genetic Equilibrium – Maintaining Genetic Equilibrium – The Hardy-Weinberg EquilibriumThe Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium– No mutationsNo mutations– Random matingRandom mating– Large populationLarge population– No emmigration/immigrationNo emmigration/immigration– No natural selectionNo natural selection

Genetic Equilibrium

Hardy-Weinberg Equation:Hardy-Weinberg Equation:

• p + q = 1 p + q = 1 allele frequency allele frequency•p = freq. of Ap = freq. of A

•q = freq. of aq = freq. of a

• pp22 + 2pq + q + 2pq + q22 = 1 = 1 phenotype phenotype frequencyfrequency

•pp22 = freq. of AA = freq. of AA

•qq22 = freq. of aa = freq. of aa

•2pq = freq. of Aa2pq = freq. of Aa
