Study Notes
Population Genetics
- The gene frequency for the 'a' allele can be determined in the population.
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
- Individuals with genotype 'aa' represent those with phenylketonuria (PKU).
Probability of Genotypes
- The probability of producing a zygote with the genotype 'Aa' can be calculated.
Offspring with PKU
- If two individuals with genotype 'Aa' reproduce, 25% of their offspring is expected to have PKU.
Genotype Frequency
- The genotype 'Aa' has the highest frequency in the population.
Evolution
- Based on the given information, evolution has not occurred in this population.
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
- Random mating is not required for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.
- In Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, when all members of the population mate and produce the same number of offspring, it means that there is no genetic drift.
Evolutionary Theory
- The Modern Synthesis theory combines natural selection and inheritance, and was proposed by Ernst Mayr.
Inheritance Patterns
- Polygenic inheritance is described when a trait follows a bell-curve distribution.
Mating Behaviors
- In soapberry bugs, male mate guarding during copulation provides the advantage of increased paternity assurance.
Genetic Traits
- Pleiotropy is the term that describes the situation when one gene influences multiple phenotypic traits.
