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
FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF 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
FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF POPULATION
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
FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF 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
FACTORS INFLUENCING GENE FUND OF POPULATION
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 ?
WORKSHEET
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?
