POPULATION GENETICS
The Study of Genes and Genotypes in a population
Population - a group of individuals of the same species that occupy the same environment (that can interbreed)
Genetic Variation
Genetic Variation related to Phenotypic Variation
GENE POOLS
All of the alleles for every gene in a given population
Changes between Generations
Use to examine variation in alleles between individuals of a population
DIFFERENT TYPES OF GENES
Polymorphic – 2 or more alleles for a single gene that occur at greater than 1% frequency
Monomorphic – 1 allele for a single gene occurs at greater than 99% frequency
