September 24- Selection Coefficient
Δp= S (pq)
S= the selection coefficient. This is used to measure the advantage (or disadvantage) that one allele has over another. (s= 0.02)
p= the frequency of the allele
q= the frequency of 1- p.
Together (pq)= genetic variation
The increase in genetic variation causes a greater change in Δp.
Hi! Great job! Your definitions are clear and concise. I agree with them!
ReplyDeleteMy definitions were Delta P- s.(pq), P is the alleles frequency of A1, Q is allele frequency of A2, and s is the selection coefficient. Our definitions were similar, you made it simple!
ReplyDeleteHi Kaelyn!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your definitions. You did a great job of explaining the differences between the different variables. Mine were pretty similar. Keep up the good work!
