Genetic load in sexual and asexual diploids: segregation, dominance and genetic drift.
In diploid organisms, sexual reproduction rearranges allelic combinations between loci (recombination) as well as within loci (segregation). Several studies have analyzed the effect of segregation on the genetic load due to recurrent deleterious mutations, but considered infinite populations, thus neglecting the effects of genetic drift. Here, we use single-locus models to explore the combined ...
متن کاملphylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran
in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Genetic control of alkaline phosphatase synthesis in Neurospora: the use of partial diploids in dominance studies.
In wild-type Neurospora, alkaline phosphatase is made under conditions of phosphate limitation, but not conditions of phosphate sufficiency. Mutants at two unlinked loci, nuc-1 and nuc-2, do not make alkaline phosphatase under any conditions, while mutants at two quite closely linked loci, pcon and preg, make alkaline phosphatase even under conditions of phosphate sufficiency. pcon is extremely...
متن کاملGenetic drift at expanding frontiers promotes gene segregation.
Competition between random genetic drift and natural selection play a central role in evolution: Whereas nonbeneficial mutations often prevail in small populations by chance, mutations that sweep through large populations typically confer a selective advantage. Here, however, we observe chance effects during range expansions that dramatically alter the gene pool even in large microbial populati...
متن کاملFixation of mutators in asexual populations: the role of genetic drift and epistasis.
We study the evolutionary dynamics of an asexual population of nonmutators and mutators on a class of epistatic fitness landscapes. We consider the situation in which all mutations are deleterious and mutators are produced from nonmutators continually at a constant rate. We find that in an infinitely large population, a minimum nonmutator-to-mutator conversion rate is required to fix the mutato...
