Principles of Population Genetics. Comparison of allele O sequences of the human and non-human primate ABO system. Utilizing the principles of population genetics, they modeled the evolutionary dynamics of H5N1 in domestic chicken populations. The basis of change in populations, whether it's a population of spiders, microorganisms, or people, occurs at the level of an organism's genetic material—its DNA. Natural selection has to be pretty strong to overcome gene flow. Sunderland, MA: Sinauer Associates Inc. Mutational burden hypothesis (MBH), which is mostly based on population genetics principles, is a unifying concept that attempts to reconcile different points of view. One of the most basic principles of population genetics is that even a very little interbreeding can prevent evolutionary divergence. Instead, a more efficient way might be to correct people's faulty assumptions about human genetics. Could it be that teaching people about principles of population genetics might be the key to reducing racial bias? Most population genetics theory relies on loci that have evolved neutrally (i.e., in the absence of natural selection) so a non-neutral locus may give misleading results. Principles of population genetics. The other is the clever use of insecticide-free “pest refuges” to stop herbivorous insects evolving resistance to herbicides containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins, a strategy derived from principles of population genetics.'.
