FROM GENOTYPES TO PHENOTYPES
Johanssen – in 1909 defined phenotype and genotype,delineating the difference between external expression and
the underlying hereditary controls
Genetic basis of phenotypic variation originally documented with 'common garden' experiments

P = G
P = G + E
In a single environment, E refers to micro‐environmental variation or may be due to developmental instability
In multiple environments, E refers to phenotypic plasticity
P = G + E + G × E
In multiple environments, G × E refers to genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity

E is ubiquitous – phenotypes cannot be produced outside of context of environment

Proteins & enzymes have evolved to have their own optimal temps:
archaebacteria Thermus aquaticus, lives in 70°C hotsprings
Antarctic fish Pagothenia borchgrevinki lives @ ‐2°CDies of heat shock @ 6°C

Modeling Evolutionary Change
2 major approaches: population and quantitative geneticsBoth created/elaborated by Fisher, Wright & Haldane
Population genetics deals with traits controlled by one or a few loci – it is a mathematical theory used to model evolutionary changes of allele frequencies in
populations due to mutation and selection
Q tit ti ti d l ith th t itQuantitative genetics deals with those traits controlled polygenically ‐ it is a statistical approach which assumes that there are many loci involved,
each with the same small additive effect on the trait. Mostly interested in effects of selection.
Population Genetics
Centered on analyzing deviations from equilibrium(Castle‐Hardy‐Weinberg), where allele frequencies remain constant over time in absence of evolutionary ‘forces’
p + q = 1 where p and q are allele frequencies
(p + q) (p + q) = p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
p2 and q2 are the frequencies of the homozygotes2pq is the frequency of the heterozygotes

Evolutionary ‘Forces’
mutation R
drift R
migration R (NR)
(aka gene [allele] flow)
selection NR
assortative mating NRg
Pop gen equation is very flexible – terms can be inserted to examine effects of various evolutionary forces
e.g., effect of mutation on allele frequencies
p + q = 1 p + (q μ1) + q + (p μ2) = 1 where μ1 and μ2 are the back mutation rates
effect of selection on allele frequencieseffect of selection on allele frequencies
p + q = 1 p + q (1‐s) = p + (q‐qs) = p2 + (2pq ‐ 2pqs) + (q2 ‐ 2q2s2 + q2s2) = 1

PopGen has been used to simulate many types of evolutionary scenarios.
Allele frequency change over time with selection.
Effects of genetic drift as a function of population size.
Migration models – stepping stone model, Island model
Sickle-cell anemia example - globin geneA - normal alleleS – sickle-cell allele (usually causes death before reproduction)

and the genotype frequencies calculated as # observed/total sampled
e.g., for SS frequency = 29/12387 = .00234
The numbers for each genotype are tallied

Worked example - 2
observed allele frequencies are calculated by summing the number of alleles of a particular form and dividing by the total alleles, e.g. for S
Observed fs = = 0.123
29 individuals homozygous SS, thus 229 S alleles,
(2 × 29) + 299312387 × 2
2993 AS individuals, thus 12993 S alleles. Total alleles is 212387, 2 alleles for each diploid individual.
expected genotype frequencies are calculated from the Hardy-Weinberg equation
Expected fss = q2 = .01513
# of SS individuals then = = 187.4
= (0.123)2

Fitnesses are calculated as the ratio of observed/expected frequenciesIn this example AS has the highest fitness: .242/.216 = 1.12SS = .002/.015 = 0.133 ; AA = .756/.769 = 0.983
Then all fitnesses are relativized by dividing by the highest fitness
Worked example - 3
Then all fitnesses are relativized by dividing by the highest fitness. AS = 1.12 / 1.12 = 1.00 SS = .133 / 1.12 = 0.138AA = .983 / 1.12 = 0.877
Selection coefficients are calculated as (1 - relative fitness)
