POPULATION GENETICS

Genetic Population

The sum of gene (or allelic) frequencies for all the genes represented by that population

Allele Frequency/Gene Frequency

The proportion of a particular allele (variant of a gene) among all allele copies being considered

Gene Pool

Set of all genes or genetic information in any population usually of a particular species 

Fitness 

The ability to both survive and reproduce

Linkage Equilibrium

Populations where combinations of alleles or genotypes can be found in the expected proportions 

Linkage Disequilibrium

Non-random association of alleles at two or more loci, that descend from single, ancestral chromosomes 

Population Genetics

Is the study of the distributions and changes of allele frequency in a population, as the population is subject to the five main evolutionary processes. This also takes into account the factors of recombination, population subdivision, and population structure

Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, Mutation, Gene Flow, Non-random Mating

What are the 5 main evolutionary processes:

p2 + 2pq + q2

Formula of the Hardy-Weinberg-Principle

p2

In the Hardy-Weinberg-Principle, this is the symbol for the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq

In the Hardy-Weinberg-Principle, this is the symbol for the frequency of heterozygous genotype

q2

In the Hardy-Weinberg-Principle, this is the symbol for the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, model, theorem, law

Hardy-Weinberg principle is also known as?

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

This predicts how gene frequencies will be inherited from generation to generation given a specific set of assumptions
