1 8. Genetic Diversity Many ways to measure the diversity of a population: For any measure of diversity, we expect an estimate to be: when only one kind of object is present; low when >1 kind of objects are present, one of which is dominant in abundance; high when >1 kind of objects are present, in roughly equal abundance; maximum value when >1 kind of objects are present in equal numbers. For genetic diversity, the objects are alleles; expect that the greater the frequency of heterozygotes, the more genetically diverse the population; should get maximum diversity when all alleles are present in equal frequencies. So let s use the frequency of heterozygotes as a measure of genetic diversity; can use either the observed relative frequencies of heterozygotes, or that frequency expected under the HWC model. Q: At what frequency of p, q will the frequency of heterozygotes be the highest, under HWC conditions (random mating, genetic equilibrium)? can assign various values to p ( range 1) and find expected frequency of heterozygotes: - plot pq vs. p to estimate maximum; p q pq
2 8. Genetic diversity Exp freq of heterozygotes (pq) Allele frequency (p) some simple calculus: let V = pq (frequency of heterozygotes); - find derivative of function V with respect to p; - set to zero and solve for p to find arg(maximum); V = pq = p( 1 p) = p p V = 4 p = p 4p = p = 5. q = 5. Another derivation of genetic diversity, based on frequencies of alleles rather than genotypes: Distributions are described by descriptive statistics, including mean and variance: mean is center of density, = expected value; discrete distribution: calculate mean as weighted average of X, where weights are frequencies; For genotype distributions: X = number of alleles (,1 ); weights = relative frequencies, sum to 1:
3 8. Genetic diversity 3 X = w X i w i
4 8. Genetic diversity 4 Assuming HW conditions: Genotype Frequency (weight) X = number of A 1 s A 1 A 1 p A 1 A pq 1 A A q µ = E( x) = ( p ) + 1( pq) + ( q ) = p + pq = p( p + q) = p That is, the mean number of alleles = allele frequency. In general, the mean of a binomial distribution is np, where n = for diploid genotypes. [ ] σ = E ( x µ ) = E( x ) µ E( x ) = ( p ) + 1 ( pq) + ( q ) = 4p + pq = p( p + q) = p( 1+ p) σ = E( x ) µ = p( 1+ p) ( p) = p + p 4p = p( 1 p) = pq
5 8. Genetic diversity 5 Thus we can define geneotypic variance as the frequency of heterozygotes in population. but note that: the frequencies of all homozygote and heterozygote frequencies must sum to one, since we are expressing them as relative frequencies; for homozygote frequency of allele i is P i ; therefore, for more than alleles, we can more conviently calculate the total heterozygote frequeny as one minus the total frequency of homogygotes: H = 1 k P i i= 1 for k alleles. this measure is known as the heterozygosity of a sample, which is used directly as a measure of genetic diversity; in general, the variance of a binomial distribution is npq, where n = ; but the expression holds whether or not the population is in HWC equilibrium. One final note about allelic variance: it is common to expresses allelic variance in terms of the relative frequency of alleles per genotype, rather than the number of alleles per genotype (as derived above); in this case the actual numeric value of the allelic variance is H/4, where H is the heterozygosity measure above.
6 8. Genetic diversity 6 Summary: Measures of Genetic Variability Genotype HW Frequency Number of A alleles Frequency of A alleles A 1 A 1 p A 1 A pq 1 ½ A A q 1 1. Genotypic variance, = heterozygosity (H =σ A ) = variance in the number (absolute frequency) of alleles of a particular kind (e.g., A ) among genotypes, weighted by the genotype frequencies. = variance of the binomial distribution, =pq. useful because, under Hardy-Weinberg conditions, it is equal to the relative frequency of heterozygotes in the population.. Allelic variance (σ q ) = variance in the relative frequency of alleles of a particular kind (e.g., A ) among genotypes, weighted by the genotype frequencies. useful because it is based directly on allele frequencies and can be decomposed into withinpopulation and among-population components. Heterozygosity and allelic variance are linearly proportional to one another, indicating that they are equivalent measures of genetic variability. Both attain their maximum values when p = q =.5, in which case maximum heterozygosity =.5 and maximum allelic variance = Heterozygosity Allele frequency Variance in allele frequency Variance in allele frequency Allele frequency Heterozygosity
7 8. Genetic diversity 7 Importance of Mendel s laws and the Hardy-Weinberg-Castle principle as null models: 1) Mendel s model predicts: that genotypes will be randomly assorted across generations; i.e., that variation within populations will be re-expressed across time. ) the Hardy-Weinberg-Castle model predicts: that allele frequencies will remain constant across generations (time) unless some biological process ( force ) acts to change them; i.e., that populations at rest are in genetic equilibrium. When populations are in genetic equilibrium: 1) allele frequencies remain constant across time; ) genetic diversity remains constant across time. Thus evolution is the result of genetic disequilibrium. Biological processes that can change allele frequencies: mutation assortative mating gene flow genetic drift selection (differentiat reproduction by different genotypes)
19. Genetic Drift. The biological context. There are four basic consequences of genetic drift:
9. Genetic Drift Genetic drift is the alteration of gene frequencies due to sampling variation from one generation to the next. It operates to some degree in all finite populations, but can be significant
