Skrócony opis: |
The aim of the course is to teach the students the relationship between genetic variability and functioning of natural populations. Students will learn practical methods of maintaining or increasing the levels of genetic diversity in fragmented populations. Students will understand how to apply the modern genetics in conservation. |
Pełny opis: |
Substantive content: 1.The frequencies of genotypes and alleles. The calculation of the allele frequencies in cases of complete dominance. Eugenics in the light of population genetics. The heterozygosities and other indices of genetic variability 2.Hardy – Weinberg genetic equilibrium. The use of HW law for genetic profiling. Forensic genetics for protection of the endangered species. The CITES convention 3.The effects of low numbers in populations. Genetic drift, inbreeding and inbreeding depression, mutational meltdown. The calculation of inbreeding coefficient from pedigrees for individuals and for populations 4.F statistics – the differentiation of populations, the gene flow and inbreeding 5.Protection plans, solving taxonomical problems. The species concept and practical approach to the problem. The barcoding idea. 6.Phylogeography and the units for protection within the species.
