11 Synonymous substitutions v.s. Non-synonymous substitutions Ka/Ks is an indicator of selection

12 General classes of mutations Point mutations Copy-number mutations Chromosomal mutations Genome mutations

13 Chromosomal inversions lock blocks of genes together

14 Changes in chromosome number are common Robertsonian fusions and fissions are common and can have major effects on speciation in mammals, chromosome numbers range from N = 3 to N = 42. in insects, the range is from N = 1(some ants) to N = 220 (a butterfly) karyotypes can evolve rapidly!

16 Genome mutations polyploidization events cause the entire genome to be duplicated. polyploidy has played a major role in the evolution of plants. ancient polyploidization events have also occurred in most animal lineages.

24 The Hardy-Weinberg-Castle Equilibrium Godfrey Hardy Wilhelm Weinberg William Castle

25 The Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium consider a single locus with two alleles and three genotypes exist:,, let p = frequency of allele let q = frequency of allele since only two alleles present, p + q = 1 Question: If mating occurs at random in the population, what will the frequencies of and be in the next generation?

26 What are the probabilities of matings at the gamete level?

27 What are the probabilities of matings at the gamete level? Egg Sperm Zygote Probability x p x p = p 2

28 What are the probabilities of matings at the gamete level? Egg Sperm Zygote Probability x p x p = p 2 x p x q = pq

29 What are the probabilities of matings at the gamete level? Egg Sperm Zygote Probability x p x p = p 2 x p x q = pq x q x p = qp

30 What are the probabilities of matings at the gamete level? Egg Sperm Zygote Probability x p x p = p 2 x p x q = pq x q x p = qp 2pq

31 What are the probabilities of matings at the gamete level? Egg Sperm Zygote Probability x p x p = p 2 x p x q = pq x q x p = qp 2pq x q x q = q 2

32 Therefore, zygotes produced in proportions: Genotype: Frequency: p 2 2pq q 2

33 Therefore, zygotes produced in proportions: Genotype: Frequency: p 2 2pq q 2 what are the allele frequencies?

34 What are the allele frequencies?

35 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq)

36 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq

37 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq = p(p + q)

38 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq = p(p + q) = p

39 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq = p(p + q) = p = q 2 + ½ (2pq)

40 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq = p(p + q) = p = q 2 + ½ (2pq) = q 2 + pq

41 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq = p(p + q) = p = q 2 + ½ (2pq) = q 2 + pq = q(q + p)

42 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq = p(p + q) = p = q 2 + ½ (2pq) = q 2 + pq = q(q + p) = q

43 What are the allele frequencies? Frequency of Frequency of = p 2 + ½ (2pq) = p 2 + pq = p(p + q) = p = q 2 + ½ (2pq) = q 2 + pq = q(q + p) = q ALLELE FREQUENCIES DID NOT CHANGE!!
