Term
|
Definition
| versions of the same gene that differ in their base sequence |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a point mutation where a purine is changed to a pyrimadine or vice versa |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
similarities of species cuz of duplicated genes derived from same common ancestral sequence
(can have same function or diff) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
genes act like pigments in pain
favorable mutations merge into existing traits & r lost |
|
|
Term
| Hardy Weinburg Equilibrium |
|
Definition
allele frequencies in a population will not change
if allele is p & q, genotype would be p^2, pq & q^2
if all rules are met |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
single nucletide insertion or deletion causing problems all the way down the line
usually an early stop
Crohn's Disease |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Two or more alleles are identical by descent (IBD) if they are identical copies of the same ancestral allele |
|
|
Term
| inheritance of acquired characteristics |
|
Definition
physiological changes acquired in the life of an organism may be transmitted to offspring.
aka theory of adaptation orLamarckism
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species — or the occurrence of more than one form or morph.
heritable
natural selection |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
broad based effort in 1930-40 to unite mendelian genetics with theory of evolution by natural selection
aka evolutionary synthesis |
|
|
Term
| evolutionary substitution |
|
Definition
compare diff species
if they have diff nucleotides in same space, then at least one substitution must have occured in the lineage |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 1 or more bases that have been inserted or deleted from genome. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
point mutations that result in an amino acid chagne
aka replacement
creates a new allele |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the fraction of individuals in a pop that are heterozygotes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| subdivision of a population |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| drift oposses mutation. they eventually come into equilibrium. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (also known as gene migration) is the transfer of alleles of genes from one population to another. via migration or wind |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the average relatedness between
mates is greater than the average relatedness
among randomly paired individuals!
– A population can be inbred
crossing between unrelated individuals |
|
|
Term
| effective population size |
|
Definition
Ne
the size of an ideal random mating population with no selection mutation or migration that would lose genetic variation via drift at the same rate as it is observed in an actual pop |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| fraction of teh total phenotypic variation in a pop that is caused by genetic differences among ppl. or the fraction of total variation that is due to additive effects of genes. |

Term
|
Definition
| space between an arch and a rectangular enclosure |
