3. Modeling Selection for a Dominant Allele Δp declines with each generation.
3. Modeling Selection for a Dominant Allele Δp declines with each generation. BECAUSE: as q declines, a greater proportion of q alleles are present in heterozygotes (and invisible to selection). As q declines, q 2 declines more rapidly. . .
3. Modeling Selection for a Dominant Allele Δp declines with each generation. So, in large populations, it is hard for selection to completely eliminate a deleterious allele. .
3. Modeling Selection for a Dominant Allele Δp declines with each generation. Rate of change depends on the strength of selection; the difference in reproductive success among genotypes. In this case, a new adaptive mutant allele has been produced in the population. The “selection differential”, s, is selection AGAINST the existing allele that had become ‘fixed’ in the population (f = 1. 0) So, the “better” the new allele is (represented by the greater selective differential against the old allele), the faster the new mutant accumulates in the population.
3. Modeling Selection for a Dominant Allele Selection for an allele where there is not complete dominance: - Consider incomplete dominance, codominance, or heterosis. In these situations, the heterozygote has a phenotype that differs from either of the homozygotes, and selection can favor one genotype over another: - Selection might favor one homozygote over the heterozygote and other homozygote (first example), or might favor the heterozygote over the homozygotes (second example), or might favor both homozygotes over the heterozygote (not considered here).

Selection for the homozygote of a non-dominant allele - deleterious alleles can no longer hide in the heterozygote; its presence always causes a reduction in fitness, and so it can be eliminated from a population.

Selection for the Heterozygote Sickle cell caused by a SNP of valine for glutamic acid at the 6 th position in the beta globin protein in hemoglobin (147 amino acids long). NN NS SS The malarial parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) cannot complete development in red blood cells with this hemoglobin, because O 2 levels are too low in these cells.

Evolutionary Genetics I. Speciation A. Definition: Mayr’s ‘biological species concept’ – “a group of actually or potentially interbreeding organisms that is reproductively isolated from other such groups”. - only appropriate for sexually reproducing species - Reproductive isolation will inevitably lead to greater genetic divergence (even just by chance), and an increased likelihood of genetic uniqueness/incompatibility.

Drosophila speciation on the Hawaiian Islands. Recent divergences involve a specie colonizing a new island (Hawai’i); older divergence occurred in the past, when older islands first crested above the ocean and Obbard D J et al. Mol Biol Evol 2012; 29: 3459 -3473 were made available for colonization. © The Author 2012. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution.
Vicariance – the splitting of a range by a new geographic feature, such as a river or land mass (next).
Almost all most recent divergence events date to 3 my, and separate species on either side of the isthmus; suggesting that the formation of the isthmus was a cause of speciation in all these species pairs. Snapping ‘Pistol’ Shrimp
Mayr – Peripatric Speciation Small population in new environment; the effect of drift and selection will cause rapid change, resulting in a speciation event.
