Question

The software is AlleleA1. Please answer all questions. Thanks.

Below is a list of parameters that you can adjust in the software we are using this week Starting frequency of allele A1 Fitness of genotype A1A1 Fitness of genotype A1A2 Fitness of genotype A2A2 Mutation rate from A1 to A2 Mutation rate from A2 to A1 Fraction migrants each generation Frequency of A1 in source population Population size Inbreeding coefficient (F) Which parameter would have to be adjusted to change the frequency of the A, allele in the simulation? Which parameter would have to be adjusted to decrease the population size of the organisms in the simulation? Which parameter would have to be adjusted to give a "selection advantage" to organ- isms with particular phenotypes? Which parameter would have to be adjusted to permit gene flow?

Explanation / Answer

The allele frequency of A2 can be changed by
1. Mutation rate from A1 to A2
2. Mutation rate from A2 to A1
3. Fitness of A2A2 genotype

Population size can be decreased by
1. Migration

Selection advantage of a genotype can be adjusted by
1. Changing the fitness of any of A1A1, A1A2 or A2A2 genotypes

Gene flow can be permitted by
1. Migration
