Document Summary

You should be able to: population genetics and evolutionary processes: define and use correctly the following terms: hardy-weinberg equilibrium, locus, allele frequency, genotype frequency, genetic drift, gene flow, non-random mating, hardy-weinberg equilibrium. A mathematical model that predicts no change in genotype or allele frequencies in a population under certain conditions. A description of what the gene pool looks like in the absence of evolution. Specific location or position of a gene, dna sequence on a chromosome: allele frequency. Relative frequency of an allele: genotype frequency. Relative frequency of a genotype: genetic drift. Change in the genetic composition of a population caused by chance events. Fixation: all members of the population have the same alleles of a particular gene: gene flow. Can bring in genotypes from a neighboring population. Transfer of alleles into/out of a population as a result of the movement of fertile individuals or their gametes. Can counteract the loss of genetic variation caused by drift: non-random mating.

A) genetic drift B) there are no evolutionary forces acting on this gene population C)assortive mating D) Overdominance E)Directional selection

If a population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which of the following allele frequencies would yield the smallest number of heterozygotes? A)

A=0.25, B=0.75 B) A=0.75, B=0.25

C)A=0.50, B=0.50

Fixation occurs when one allele becomes the only allele for a gene in a population, meaning that all other alleles for that gene have been lost. True or false

Need help with evolution questions:

1.) A haplotype is best defined as the ________________.

	haploid genotypes of all the gametes produced by a diploid individual

ABO blood type conferred by an individual gamete

genotype of either the paternal or maternal chromosomal complement

multilocus genotype of a chromosome or gamete

2.) Which of the following statements regarding linkage disequilibrium is true?

Exists when D is less than zero, but not when it is greater than zero.

Is reduced by sexual reproduction.

Is increased by crossing-over during meiosis.

Is increased by any random sampling error that happens to create or destroy certain chromosome genotypes but not others.

Is reduced by selection that favors certain combinations of genotypes.

3.) Selection on multilocus genotypes in random-mating populations leads to linkage disequilibrium when _______________.

it reduces mutation rates

it eliminates all haplotypes from the population

it prevents crossing-over during meiosis

some allele combinations confer greater fitness than do others

4.) When two loci are in linkage equilibrium, the allele carried on a chromosome at one locus is independent of the allele carried on the chromosome at another locus. When this is the case, _________________.

allele frequencies will not change over time

the two loci (or, more specifically, their protein products) do not interact

the frequency of each haplotype can be calculated by multiplying the frequency of its two alleles

all possible haplotypes occur at equal frequency

5.) Which of the following accurately characterize(s) Muller's ratchet model for the selective advantage of sexual reproduction?

Drift establishes linkage disequilibrium because multilocus genotypes with few mutations are eliminated by chance events.

In populations without sexual reproduction, deleterious mutations accumulate, eventually imposing such a burden that the population goes extinct.

Sex is favored selectively because it recreates the zero-mutation genotypes lost due to drift.

All of the above correctly characterize Muller's ratchet model for the evolution of sexual reproduction.

6.) The genetic signature of recent positive selection on a locus is _______________.

high frequency and low linkage disequilibrium

low frequency and low linkage disequilibrium

low frequency and high linkage disequilibrium

high frequency and high linkage disequilibrium

7.) Sexual reproduction is advantageous both in changing environments and in constant environments, compared to asexual reproduction.

True

False

8.) Sexual reproduction causes genetic recombination via crossing-over, which combines genotypes from different parents.

True

False

9.) One reason sex may be maintained in natural populations is proposed by the "Red Queen Hypothesis", which states that.....

genotypes created by sex are created by natural selection over and over

recombination creating novel genotypes that can resist infection by parasites

mutation load is reduced by novel adaptive mutations

the ability of sex to fix multiple
