What is effect of population on mitochondrial dna gene


Problem:

Given a diploid sexual population of individuals where the frequency of the A1 allele is 0.7 and that of the A2 allele is 0.3, where mutation, selection and migration do not occur, and where these individuals mate at random:

If this population of 200 individuals is composed of 170 females and only 30 males,

Question: what is its effective population size (Ne)

  1. At an autosomal locus?
  2. At an X-linked locus?
  3. For a mitochondrial DNA gene?
  4. For a Y linked gene?

Question: What is the probability that the A1 allele will become fixed in these populations given sufficient time (is this probability the same for each or different)?

Then, explain/show how genetic drift differs in its likely effects among these 4 sets of genetic systems by determining the expected loss in heterozygosity in just 10 generations with constant population size, and assuming h0 to be 0.25.

Show your calculations, but you do not need to write out any explanation.
