Mutation as an Evolutionary Force 1. It occurs when errors are made in duplicating alleles in producing the gametes. 2. It is one of the weaker evolutionary forces, because errors are relatively rare. The error rate or mutation rate, m, in copying an allele of a nuclear gene is ~ 1 x 10-6 to 1 x 10-9. 3. It changes allele frequencies in a population and this change in the genetic composition of a population from parents to offspring is what we mean by evolution. No Mutation AA Parents produce only ‘A’ bearing gametes. Aa Parents produce ½ ‘A’ and ½ ‘a’ bearing gametes aa Parents produce only all ‘a’ bearing gametes. With Mutation AA Parents produce some ‘a’ bearing mutant gametes. Aa Parents produce ½ ‘A’ and ½ ‘a’ gametes aa Parent produce some ‘A’ bearing mutant gametes. = A alleles = a alleles Parent population Reproduction With Mutation Offspring population How strong is mutation as an evolutionary force? Calculate how much the frequency of an allele changes in the population as a result of mutation. Mechanism of Mutation μ A Allele in the Parent a Allele in the Parent u a Mutant Allele in the Gamete and then In the Offspring A Mutant Allele in the Gamete and then In the Offspring Change in allele frequency, DPa, as a result of mutation Mechanism of Mutation μ A Parent Frequencies: {PA, Pa} a u Reproduction With Mutation Offspring Frequencies: {PA’, Pa’} How similar are PA’ and PA? The change in allele frequency, DPa, caused by mutation Parent Frequencies: {PA, Pa} Freq of a allele in offspring after mutation Pa’ Reproduction With Mutation Offspring Frequencies: {PA’, Pa’} Mutation rate from A to a times the Freq of A before mutation Non-Mutation rate times the Freq of a before mutation = (1- v) Pa + μPA ΔPa = Pa’– Pa = μ – (u + m)Pa An Evolutionary Equilibrium occurs when DP = 0 • Evolution: change in allele frequency in a population from one generation to the next. DP > 0 the allele is increasing in frequency DP < 0 the allele is decreasing in frequency • No Evolution: No change in allele frequency in a population from one generation to the next. DP = 0 the allele is neither increasing nor decreasing in frequency • The Equilibrium Allele Frequency, P*, is the frequency that makes DP = 0 The change in allele frequency, DPa, caused by mutation ΔPa = Pa’– Pa = μ – (u + m)Pa What is the Equilibrium Allele Frequency, Pa*? Set ΔPa = 0 = μ – (u + m)Pa* Solve for Pa* The Equilibrium Allele Frequency,Pa*, that makes DPa = 0 At the Mutation Equilibrium, ΔPa = 0. 0 = μ – (u + m)Pa* P*a = μ/(u + m) The Equilibrium Allele Frequency = Rate at which A is wrongly copied as a, Relative to all errors of copying at this gene.

Pelagic Scatterers – spawn by scattering eggs and sperm into the water in schools near surface. For example:sardines, mackerel, tuna, whitefish. Broadcast Spawners: another name for forming zygotes by scattering eggs and sperm into the water Examples: Thunnus thynnus, atlantic blue fin tuna 10 feet long, weigh up to 1,400 pounds, lifespan longer than 20 years. the largest bony fish in the world; they migrate up to 5,000 miles. 0.8 to 2.6 million eggs per spawning female (roughly 100,000 eggs/kg). Eggs are ~ 1 mm in diameter and buoyant, enclosed in an oil droplet. LABRIDAE (WRASSES) All species are proto-gynous hermaphrodites: Females have the capacity to turn into males. Males are either born as males or are older sex-reversed females. Star Fishes.

Conclude: No evidence of natural selection or any other evolutionary forces acting on these alleles. Conclude: We are mating like pelagic spawners as far as this gene is concerned! Conclude: Nonrandom mating can be occurring for some traits and genes but not others in the same population.
