BIOL 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Mns Antigen System, Allele Frequency, Genotype Frequency
Document Summary
Natural selection increases the frequency of certain alleles. Genetic drift causes allele frequencies to change randomly. Gene ow occurs when individuals immigrate into or emigrate from a population. Allele frequencies may change when gene ow occurs: immigration of organisms of teh same species that bring new frequencies and some new alleles. Mutation modi es allele frequencies by continually introducing new alleles. 5 non-random mating doesn"t change allele frequencies, but it does alter genotype frequencies. Can work both ways go from percentages to p and q and go from p and q to percentages: ex. (0. 42)/2 + 0. 49 > 0. 7 > p. Human mn blood group system: two alleles code for a two version of proteins, one is m and other n. They are co-dominant: there are 3 phenotypes and 3 genotypes. 0. 672 + (0. 304)/2 > 0. 824: if hardy weinberg is working then (if only meiosis is occurring)
