A COMPLETE SOLUTION ALL ANSWERS 100% ACCURATE BEST GRADED
A+ GUARANTEED SUCCESS
blending inheritance - CORRECT ANSWERS parental traits blend such that their
offspring have intermediate traits, results in populations which are phenotypically similar
Mendel's Law of Segregation - CORRECT ANSWERS the two alleles of a gene found on
each of a pair of chromosomes segregate independently of one another into sex cells
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment - CORRECT ANSWERS the inheritance of one
character has no effect on the inheritance of another
point mutations - CORRECT ANSWERS gene mutations involving changes in one or a
few nucleotides
chi-squared test - CORRECT ANSWERS null hypothesis is that there is no difference
between the observed and expected frequency
x^2 = E(observed-expected)^2/expected
selection coefficient (s) - CORRECT ANSWERS is equal to the expected reduction in
fitness to the homozygous dominant genotype
*if s > 0, A22 is less fit than A11*
heterozygous effect (h) - CORRECT ANSWERS measures fitness of the homozygote
relative to the selective difference between two homozygotes
inbreeding coefficient (F) - CORRECT ANSWERS the probability that the two alleles at
any locus in an individual will be identical by descent

inbreeding depression - CORRECT ANSWERS The negative reproductive consequences
for a population associated with having a high frequency of homozygous individuals possessing
harmful recessive alleles. (loss in heterozygosity)
genetic isolation by distance - CORRECT ANSWERS correlation between physical
separation and genetic distance
F statistic - CORRECT ANSWERS simple approach to measuring a population genetic
structure
2pq(1-F)= freq A12
census population size - CORRECT ANSWERS the number of individuals in a population
effective population size - CORRECT ANSWERS the genetic size of a population
Wright-Fisher model - CORRECT ANSWERS similar to HWE, does not assume infinite
population size
(species expected to lose heterozygosity over time)
McDonald-Kreitman test - CORRECT ANSWERS A test for selection at a locus by
comparing DNA sequence variation within species with the variation among species.
genetic hitchhiking - CORRECT ANSWERS the process by which an allele is able to "ride
along" with a nearby favorable allele to which it is physically linked and thus increase in
frequency
Haplotype - CORRECT ANSWERS A group of alleles of different genes on a single
chromosome that are closely enough linked to be inherited usually as a unit
