Presentation Transcript

  1. GeneticVariation • Most genes have small sequence differences between individuals • Occur every 1350 bp on average • Some of these polymorphisms may affect: • How well the protein works • How the protein interacts with another protein or substrate • The different gene forms containing polymorphisms are called alleles

  2. Between-population variation Salamanders

  3. Within-population variation: Hawaiian Happy-face spiders, Theridion grallator

  4. RestrictionFragmentLengthPolymorphismRFLPAnalysis • Some genetic polymorphisms can be identified by the presence or absence of a specific restriction endonuclease recognition site:For example: GAATTC versus GATTTC • RFLP analysis is the detection of the change in the length of the restriction fragments as a result of these mutations.
