Population Genetics
This branch of genetics deals with distribution and change in frequency of alleles
Population Genetics is the study of how populations change genetically over time
Microevolution - the change in the genetic makeup of a population from generation to generation
Gene pool: All the genes present in a population at any given time
Allele frequency : How often a particular allele shows up in a population
The Hardy-Weinberg Theorem: If allele frequencies stay the same from one generation to the next, then no evolution is occurring
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 Where p2 = frequency of AA genotype 2pq = frequency of Aa genotype q2 = frequency of aa genotype
Data: SNP, microsattellite
Software: Arlequin, Structure, Populus
Founder effect : A way Nature to randomly create new species from existing populations

H-W equilibrium: 1. The population is very large 2. Mating is random 3. no mutations 4. no migrationData: SNP, microsattellite
