9.1 - Genetic variation & the Founder Effect LO: how bottle necking and the founder effect alter genetic variation. All Most Some What is the founder effect and how does it affect genetic diversity? Why is selective breeding an example of artificial bottlenecking? How is genetic diversity effected as a result of population bottlenecks?

Today we are covering from the specification: Pages 146 to 149 in your textbook

Starter 1.How can genetic diversity be increased? 2.How can genetic diversity be decreased? 3.List as many ways as you can think of.  5 minutes

Key terms Genetic diversity Allele frequency

Key terms Genetic diversity – genetic differences between individuals within a population (in terms of alleles) Allele frequency – how often a particular allele occurs within a population.

The Founder effect The Mainland Island

The Founder effect The Mainland Island Population

The Founder effect The Mainland A few individuals colonise a new isolated area

There may be a higher frequency of one allele in the founder population just by chance This allele needn’t have been very common in the original population

The island population grows Island

…after a few generations Island The green allele may be lost completely if individuals fail to leave offspring carrying it

…after a few generations Island The green allele may be lost completely if individuals fail to leave offspring carrying it

…after a few generations Island Mutations may occur creating new alleles

…after a few generations Island The new allele becomes more common

The 2 populations now look very different! The Mainland Island

The Founder Effect Occasionally a small group of individuals may migrate away or become isolated from a population The ‘founding’ population is only made up of a small number of individuals. Inbreeding may be a problem if individuals are closely related It may have a non-representing sample of alleles from the parent population The colonizing population may evolve quite differently from the original population, especially if the environment is different Certain alleles may go missing all together as a consequence, resulting in a loss of genetic diversity

Some examples of the founder effect in action… The Fugates of Kentucky The Amish people, Pennsylvania

The Amish People 200 in founding population Within community marriages Recessive conditions are common Haemophilia Dwarfism (1/14 carry the gene) Still births/infant deaths Physical deformaties

‘The Royal Disease’ Haemophilia The Tsars

The Fugates Small founding population Mountain communities 2 of the founders were carriers of a recessive allele Blue skin!

Population bottlenecks Ecological events may reduce population sizes dramatically e.g. earthquakes, floods, fires. Disasters that are unselective. Small surviving populations are unlikely to be representative of the original population. By chance alleles may be overrepresented among survivors, some may be eliminated completely.

Northern Elephant Seals Hunted close to extinction Individuals on islands survived Reduced genetic diversity compared with southern elephant seals

Cheetahs 10,000 years ago all but 1 species had died out Severely threatened Very low genetic diversity resulting in poor sperm quality among males Females forced to breed with close relatives Inbreeding generally decreases the fitness of a population (an inbreeding depression)

Skittles bottleneck game Different coloured skittles represent different alleles. 1.Count the number of individuals in the population in your bottle, calculate the frequency of each colour allele (%). 2.Mix your sample of alleles in the bottle. 3.Let 5 alleles through the bottleneck after a disaster causing a crash in population numbers. 4.Record the colours & numbers of these 5 alleles. 5.When each individual in this generation dies it can leave a maximum of 3 offspring (or 3 skittles of the same colour) unless you do not have enough of this particular colour, in which case the individual has failed to reproduce. Record the new allele frequencies. 6.Remove the original population from the bottle and put in the survivors. 7.Repeat the process of letting 5 individuals through a bottleneck, recording the allele frequencies, letting them reproduce if possible and recording the allele frequencies again. Repeat instructions 3-7 for 10 disasters

Similarities and differences between the founder effect & bottlenecking I will read out a statement about the founder effect and bottlenecking. Is it a similarity or a difference?.

Similarities and differences between the founder effect & bottlenecking SimilaritiesDifferences are followed by genetic drift which results in changes in allele frequencies Individuals are killed, reducing the choice of mates, in the founder effect individuals are ecologically separated Initially genetic diversity is lost involve a small number of individuals breeding with each other, both may involve inbreeding among close relatives may result in a new population which carries alleles that are unlikely to be a true representation of the original group
