Random genetic drift and gamete frequency.
An analytic expression of conditional expectation of transient gamete frequency, given that one of the two loci remains polymorphic, is obtained in terms of the diffusion process by calculating the moments of the distribution. Using this expression, a model where linkage disequilibrium is introduced by a single mutation is considered. The conditional expectation of the gamete frequency given th...
متن کاملRandom Genetic Drift & Gene Fixation
Random Genetic Drift is one of the evolutionary forces that effects the distribution of alleles and changes their frequencies in populations. The main idea behind this theory is that genetic changes can happen randomly. This can be explained through the Bottleneck effect. There are two main factors that have an influence on genetic drift, the first one is the Effective Population Size Ne , whic...
متن کاملMultinomial-sampling models for random genetic drift.
Three different derivations of models with multinomial sampling of genotypes in a finite population are presented. The three derivations correspond to the operation of random drift through population regulation, conditioning on the total number of progeny, and culling, respectively. Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping; the diploid population mates at random. Each derivation applies to a...
متن کاملChanges in Genetic Variance Induced by Random Genetic Drift
We noted in Chapter 2 that when operating as the sole evolutionary force, random genetic drift leads inevitably to the loss of alleles within populations as well as to the fixation of alternative alleles in different populations. These conclusions extend logically to quantitative characters. Following a reduction in population size, for example, we expect the genetic variance within populations...
متن کاملGenetic variation and random drift in autotetraploid populations.
The rate of decay of genetic variation is determined for randomly mating autotetraploid populations of finite size, and the equilibrium homozygosity under mutation and random drift is calculated. It is shown that heterozygosity is lost at a slower rate than in diploid populations, and that the equilibrium heterozygosity with mutation and random drift is higher than for diploids. Outcrossing pop...
