Beneficial dominant alleles are quick to spread but slow to fix. Red Morph: Homozygotes rr and heterozygotes rR Silver fox pelts were par8cularly valuable to hunters Silver fox morph :RR homozygote Why is there so much polymorphism? •  The paradox of varia8on in popula8on gene8cs: Selec8on quickly fixes alleles that are beneficial so why is there so much gene8c polymorphism within natural popula8ons? Three broad explana8ons: •  Selec8on some8mes acts to maintain varia8on, balancing selec8on •  Muta8on-­‐selec8on balance •  Muta8on-­‐dri\ balance (Neutral theory). Selec8on can act to maintain polymorphism within a popula8on •  Selec8on can maintain balanced polymorphisms in the popula8on •  Balancing selec8on can result when: •  The heterozygotes for an allele are fi]er than either homozygote (termed heterozygote advantage or overdominance) (Heterozygote superiority) 1

The addi8ve/marginal effect of an allele, is the effect of an allele averaged across the possible genotypes it could occur in. Addi8ve effect of A allele = αA = p X2 + q X1 Addi8ve effect of a allele = αa = p X1 + q X0 The contribu8on of locus to the addi8ve variance is = 2pq (αA -­‐ αa)2 However, unless the allele is truly addi8ve in its effect there is unexplained variance Balancing Selec8on Modes of selec8on maintaining varia8on are collec8vely referred to as balancing selec9on Heterozygote advantage is just one form of balancing selec8on A broad class of balancing selec8on is nega9ve frequency dependent selec9on •  Fitness nega8vely correlated with frequency •  Occurs in many systems due to interac8ons between individuals or species •  e.g. prey/predator or pathogen/host dynamics
