It has been observed that F_st increases with the distance between populations in many species.
Explain why Let us imagine that we observe that F_st increases more rapidly with distance for
mitochondrial DNA than for autosomal DNA for some species. Explain how this can happen.
How might you differentiate your answers to part b
Solution
A. Fixation index (Fst) is a measure of population differentiation due to genetic structure. It is
frequently estimated from genetic polymorphism data, such as single nucleotide polymorphism
or microsatellites. Genetic distance is a measure of genetic divergence between species or
between populations within a species.
A commonly used measure of genetic distance is the fixation index which varies between 0 and
1. A value of 0 indicates that two populations are genetically identical (minimal or no genetic
diversity between the two populations) whereas a value of 1 indicates that two populations are
genetically different (maximum genetic diversity between the two populations). No mutation is
assumed.
Large populations between which there is much migration, for example, tend to be little
differentiated whereas small populations between which there is little migration tend to be
greatly differentiated. Fst is a convenient measure of this differentiation, and as a result Fst is the
most widely used descriptive statistics in population and evolutionary genetics.
Fst is directly related to the Variance in allele frequency among populations and conversely to
the degree of resemblance among individuals within populations. If Fst is small, it means that
allele frequencies within each population are very similar, if it is large, it means that allele
frequencies are very different.
