FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF POPULATION

mutation:
standing change of gene fund
formation of new alleles
change of a dominant allele on recessive
or on the contrary
frequency very low
important by evolution
standing source of hereditary variability
it enables implementation of selection in
the population

selection - natural:
some phenotypes of features are for their bearer
from the point of view of reproduction
advantageous => individuals have more
descendants
disadvantageous
negative selection – eliminates individuals with
disadvantageous mutant alleles
positive selection – it prefers individuals with better
adaptable genotype
FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF POPULATION
consequence of selection:
 is a change of alleles in population
 however, frequency rises with an
advantageous feature
 frequency of alleles decreases with an
disadvantageous feature
 it depends on:
 selection intensity
 type of alleles

FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF POPULATION
if the selection is aimed against
disadvantageous dominant allele =>
allele can disappear
 if the selection is aimed against
disadvantageous recessive allele => the
frequency of the allele decreases in the
population slowly, it never disappears
 selection influences only against
recessive homozygots


migration:
 similar effect like mutation
 enrichment of gene fund by new
alleles or on the contrary also its
impoverishment
 immigration of individuals from
original population
 emigration of individuals from
original population


genetic shift (drift):
 coincidental shift of genetic balance
 it is used in small alogamic populations
 HW law not in force
 some alleles can be eliminated from gene
fund quite randomly only as a result of
insufficient amount of descendants
 the choice of alleles is very small, not
representative


random irregularities appear
 they have a considerable importance in a
small population
 allele frequency still changes between
generations
 changes cannot be predicted
 some alleles are not handed over to the
next generation and disappear, the others
predominate

FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF POPULATION
loss of alleles causes an increased
number of homozygots
 => it leads to increasing of probability
of relational crossbreed - inbreeding

WORKSHEET

Example 1:
In a large panmictic population there were
detected 16% of individuals with recessive
form of a qualitative feature (it is a complete
recessivity). What is in this population:
The frequency of both alleles of the gene?
Frequency of dominant homozygotes?

Frequency of heterozygotes ?


Example 2.
Blood cells about 84% of the population of our
country have character (agglutinogen) Rh. Blood
group of these people is symbolized Rh +.
Remaining 16% of our population do not have this
character, so they have character Rh-. By the
assumption that the Rh factor is a monogenic
autosomal, dominantly hereditable, Rh + people
are therefore either dominant homozygotes or
heterozygotes.
What is the frequency of Rh allele and particular
genotypes of Rh group in our population?
