Chapter 6 Genetics of populations
We saw in chapter 5 that a cross between two individuals heterozygous for a dominant allele produces a 3:1 ratio of individuals expressing the dominant phenotype: to those expressing the recessive phenotype.
For example brachydachtyly (shortening of the digits) displays this pattern of inheritance.
![Page 4: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Population genetics In the early 1900’s when Mendel’s work
was rediscovered there was confusion about how these simple patterns of inheritance affected populations.
Why, for example, was not 3 of every 4 people a person with brachdactyly?
Why did not dominant alleles replace recessive alleles?
![Page 6: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Population genetics The confusion stemmed from confusing
what was happening at the level of the individual with what occurs at the population level.
Individual-level thinking enables us to figure out the result of particular crosses.
![Page 7: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Population genetics Population level thinking however is
needed to figure out how the genetic characteristics of populations change over time.
It enables us to figure out quantitatively what is happening in a population as a result of evolution. Remember, evolution occurs when genotype frequencies change over time.

Population genetics Study of the distribution of alleles in
populations and causes of allele frequency changes
![Page 11: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Key Concepts Diploid individuals carry two alleles at
every locus› Homozygous: alleles are the same› Heterozygous: alleles are different
Remember Evolution: change in allele frequencies from one generation to the next
![Page 12: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Key Concept Hardy-Weinberg serves as the
fundamental null model in population genetics
![Page 13: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Model: a null model for population genetics.
Null models provide us with a baseline. They tell us what we expect to be the case if certain forces are not operating.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium tells us what we expect to happen to genotype frequencies when forces such as natural selection are not operating on a population.
![Page 14: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Model: a null model for population genetics.
The Hardy-Weinberg model enables us to determine what allele and genotype frequencies we would expect to find in a population if all that is happening is alleles are being randomly assigned to gametes when gametes are made (during meiosis) and those gametes meet up at random.
![Page 15: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Model The Hardy-Weinberg model examines a
situation in which there is one gene with two alleles A1 and A2.
Recall that alleles are different versions of a gene.
There are three possible genotypes A1A1,
A2 A2,and A1 A2
![Page 16: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Model Hardy and Weinberg used their model
to predict what would happen to allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population in the absence of any evolutionary forces.
Their model produced three important conclusions
![Page 17: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Model The three conclusions of the H-W
model. In the absence of evolutionary processes acting on them:
1. The frequencies of the alleles A1 and A2 do not change over time.
2. If we know the allele frequencies in a population we can predict the equilibrium genotype frequencies (frequencies of A1A1, A2 A2,and A1 A2).
![Page 18: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Model 3. A gene not initially at H-W
equilibrium will reach H-W equilibrium in one generation.
![Page 19: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg
1. No selection.› If individuals with certain genotypes
survived better than others, allele frequencies would change from one generation to the next.
![Page 20: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg
2. No mutation› If new alleles were produced by mutation
or alleles mutated at different rates, allele frequencies would change from one generation to the next.
![Page 21: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg
3. No migration› Movement of individuals in or out of a
population would alter allele and genotype frequencies.
![Page 22: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg
4. Large population size.› Population is large enough that chance plays
no role. Eggs and sperm collide at same frequencies as the actual frequencies of p and q.
› If assumption was violated and by chance some individuals contributed more alleles than others to next generation allele frequencies might change. This mechanism of allele frequency change is called Genetic Drift.
![Page 23: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg
5. Individuals select mates at random.› Individuals do not prefer to mate with
individuals of a certain genotype. If this assumption is violated allele frequencies will not change, but genotype frequencies might.
![Page 24: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Deriving the H-W model
![Page 26: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Assume two alleles A1 and A2 with
known frequencies (e.g. A1 = 0.6, A2 = 0.4.)
Only two alleles in population so their allele frequencies add up to 1.
![Page 28: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Can predict frequencies of genotypes
in next generation using allele frequencies.
Possible genotypes: A1A1 , A1A2 and A2A2
![Page 29: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Assume alleles A1 and A2 enter eggs
and sperm in proportion to their frequency in population (i.e. 0.6 and 0.4)
Assume sperm and eggs meet at random (one big gene pool).
![Page 30: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Then we can calculate genotype
frequencies. A1A1 : To produce an A1A1 individual, egg
and sperm must each contain an A1 allele.
This probability is 0.6 x 0.6 or 0.36 (probability sperm contains A1 times probability egg contains A1).
![Page 31: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Similarly, we can calculate frequency of
A2A2.
0.4 x 04 = 0.16.
![Page 32: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Probability of A1A2 is given by
probability sperm contains A1 (0.6) times probability egg contains A2 (0.4). 0.6 x 04 = 0.24.
![Page 33: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium But, there’s a second way to produce
an A1A2 individual (egg contains A1 and sperm contains A2). Same probability as before: 0.6 x 0.4= 0.24.
Overall probability of A1A2 = 0.24 + 0.24 = 0.48.
![Page 34: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Genotypes in next generation: A1A1 = 0.36 A1A2 = 0.48 A2 A2= 0.16 Adds up to one.
![Page 35: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium General formula for Hardy-Weinberg. Let p= frequency of allele A1 and q =
frequency of allele A2.
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1.
![Page 36: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium with more than 2 alleles
If three alleles with frequencies P1, P2 and P3 such that P1 + P2 + P3 = 1
Then genotype frequencies given by: P1
2 + P22 + P3
2 + 2P1P2 + 2P1 P3 + 2P2P3
![Page 37: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Conclusions from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Allele frequencies in a population will not change from one generation to the next just as a result of assortment of alleles and zygote formation.
If the allele frequencies in a gene pool with two alleles are given by p and q, the genotype frequencies will be given by p2, 2pq, and q2.
![Page 38: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Conclusions from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
The frequencies of the different genotypes are a function of the frequencies of the underlying alleles.
The closer the allele frequencies are to 0.5 the greater the frequency of heterozygotes.
![Page 39: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Working with the H-W equation
You need to be able to work with the Hardy-Weinberg equation.
For example, if 9 of 100 individuals in a population suffer from a homozygous recessive disorder can you calculate the frequency of the disease causing allele? Can you calculate how many heterozygotes are in the population?
![Page 41: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Working with the H-W equation
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. The terms in the equation represent the frequencies of individual genotypes.
P and q are allele frequencies. It is vital that you understand this difference.
![Page 42: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Working with the H-W equation
9 of 100 (frequency = 0.09) of individuals are homozygotes. What term in the H-W equation is that equal to?
![Page 43: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Working with the H-W equation
It’s q2.
If q2 = 0.09, what’s q? Get square root of q2, which is 0.3.
If q=0.3 then p=0.7. Now plug p and q into equation to calculate frequencies of other genotypes.
![Page 44: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Working with the H-W equation
p2 = (0.7)(0.7) = 0.49
2pq = 2 (0.3)(0.7) = 0.42
Number of heterozygotes = 0.42 times population size = (0.42)(100) = 42.
![Page 45: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Working with the H-W equation: 3 alleles
There are three alleles in a population A1, A2 and A3 whose frequencies respectively are 0.2, 0.2 and 0.6 and there are 100 individuals in the population.
How many A1A2 heterozygotes will there be in the population?
![Page 46: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Working with the H-W equation: 3 alleles
Just use the formulae P1 + P2 + P3 = 1 and P1
2 + P22 + P3
2 + 2P1P2 + 2P1 P3 + 2P2P3 = 1
Then substitute in the appropriate values for the appropriate term
2P1P2 = 2(0.2)(0.2) = 0.08 or 8 people out of 100.
![Page 47: Chapter 6 The ways of change: drift and selection](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816365550346895dd43a0a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Hardy Weinberg equilibrium principle
identifies the forces that can cause evolution.
If a population is not in H-W equilibrium then one or more of the five assumptions is being violated.
