Population Frequencies • A single locus, with two alleles • Biallelic / diallelic • Single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP • Alleles A and a • Frequency of A is p • Frequency of a is q= 1 – p • Every individual inherits two copies • A genotype is the combination of the two alleles • e.g. AA, aa(the homozygotes) or Aa (the heterozygote)
Genotype Frequencies (random mating) Aa Ap2 pqp aqp q2q p q Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium frequencies P(AA) = p2 P(Aa) = 2pq P(aa) = q2

Additive and dominance effects • Additive effects are the main effects of individual alleles: ‘gene-dosage’ • Parents transmit alleles, not genotypes • Dominance effects represent an interaction between the two alleles • i.e. if the heterozygote is not midway between the two homozygotes
Practical 1 • H:\pshaun\biometric\sgene.exe • What determines additive genetic variance? • Under what conditions does VD > VA
Some conclusions • Additive genetic variance depends on allele frequency p & additive genetic value a as well as dominance deviation d • Additive genetic variance typically greater than dominance variance
Average allelic effect • Average allelic effect is the deviation of the allelic mean from the population mean, a(p-q)+2pqd • Of all the A alleles in the population: • A proportion (p) will be paired with another A • A proportion (q) will be paired with another a
Average allelic effect • Denote the average allelic effects as α αA = q(a+d(q-p)) αa = -p(a+d(q-p)) • If only two alleles exist, we can define the average effect of allele substitution α = αA – αa α = (q-(-p))(a+d(q-p)) = (a+d(q-p)) • Therefore, αA = qα and αa = -pα
Additive genetic variance • The variance of the average allelic effects Freq.Additive effect AA p2 2αA = 2qα Aa 2pq αA +αa = (q-p)α aa q2 2αa = -2pα VA = p2(2qα)2 + 2pq((q-p)α)2 + q2(-2pα)2 = 2pqα2 = 2pq(a+d(q-p))2

Covariance for Parent-offspring (P-O) AA Aa aa AA ? Aa ? ? aa ? ? ? • Exercise 2 : to calculate frequencies of parent-offspring combinations, in terms of allele frequencies p and q.
Exercise 2 • e.g. given an AAfather, an AAoffspring can come from either AAx AAor AAx Aaparental mating types AAx AA will occur p2× p2 = p4 and have AA offspring Prob()=1 AAx Aa will occur p2× 2pq = 2p3q and have AA offspring Prob()=0.5 and have Aa offspring Prob()=0.5 Therefore, P(AA father & AAoffspring) = p4 + p3q = p3(p+q) = p3
