If a newly arisen allele is beneficial, do you think this will have an effect on the probability that this allele will get fixed in the population? What if the allele is detrimental? Does drift or selection have a greater effect on the probability of fixation or loss of an allele, and what information would you need in order to determine this?
Homework Answers
- Genetic drift deviation form null hypothesis, based on finite population size.
- Due to genetic drift the population size itself may determine genotype and allele frequencies.
- Finite population will result in the variation in the allele frequency, due to random chance.
- In genetic drift, selection of an allele based on "sampling error" and is more effective in smaller population.
- Thus, the fixation of beneficial or deleterious allele will be a chance event and either may be fixed in the population.
- Smaller the population, there is higher chance of genetic fixation of an allele or its reduction.
- Thus, in a small population, there is a chance for a neutral allele to become extinct or increase in frequency, to eventually become fixed.
- Probability that an allele will be fixed in a population = the frequency of the allele in the population.

How you think the allele frequencies are being affected by genetic drift in our simulation. Do you think this is speeding up or slowing down the rate of allele change? Why? Plot a graph of the H (p) allele frequency over generational time (show a minimum of three generations) showing what you would expect to happen if both natural selection and genetic drift are happening. Make sure to explain why you think this pattern would occur

Q3.3. Recall the prediction: Allele frequencies change by genetic drift equally quickly in large populations and in small populations. Is this correct? Why or why not? Yes. Genetic drift is sampling error, and sampling error is unpredictable, no matter the population size. Yes. Small populations experience more sampling error, but large populations have more reproduction overall, leading to similar rates of allele frequency change. O No. In the ferret experiments, allele frequencies changed more quickly in the small populations than...

Question1 2 pts A population of ferrets with a neutral allele F governing coat color. F shows incomplete dominance such that FF ferrets are black, Ff ferrets are grey, and ff ferrets are white. They migrate from the mainland, where the F allele is at an abundance of 50%, to three islands. These islands differ in size one small, one medium-sized, and one large. The larger islands can support more ferrets. A stable population of 50 ferrets lives on the...

The Kermode Spirit bear is an alternate phenotype of the species Ursus americanus (black bear) in British Columbia that has striking white fur. It was determined in 2001 that a single nucleotide change from G to A results in the replacement of Tyrosine with Cysteine at codon 289 in the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (mc1r; Ritland et al. 2001 Current Biology). This allele (W2) is recessive to the wildtype allele (W1), and occurs as a novel mutation in 1 out...
