A famous zoologist, Anne Innis, wanted to do population genetics study on chimpanzees living in forest relative to in the zoos. She selected 20 chimps from both the populations to study the genetic variation within and between the populations. She counted the number of HL, Het, and HS individuals for in each of the populations at 100 loci.
a) Anne is interested in calculating mean FST. What will mean FST measure?
b) Since FST = (HT – HS) / HT where HT = 2p’q’, how is p’ is calculated?
c) Ann’s results indicate an FST at this locus that is much higher than found in previous studies. What do her results indicate?
d) How credible or reliable do you think Ann’s results are? Explain your answer.
