  • Genetic Structure of Population
These lecture notes on “Genetic Structure of Population” were prepared and delivered to my undergraduate students studying Animal Genetics & Breeding course. This course is offered in the second professional year of Bachelor of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry degree at College of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, S.V.P.U.A.T, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. This lecture paves the foundation of population genetics. In this lecture the basic background of biological organization, and place of population in this biological organization have been explained. Briefing about various types of population had also been undertaken. Mendelian population and how it differed from an individual had been introduced. Concept of the gene pool and its role in the genetic structure of the population had been touched upon. An easy method of using dummy variables for the estimation of allelic and genotypic frequencies in a population had been explained. Various situations pertaining to different numbers of locus and different number of alleles for autosomes and allosomes had been explained for better in depth understanding of the topic by students. Use of explanatory illustrations, examples and figures had deliberately been used to create an interest among the students. Once through with this lecture notes readers will be able to understand the genetic structure of the population. I had tried my level best to simplify the concept in easy to understand language. Further constructive suggestions to improve this lecture notes are always welcome from readers on my email and whatsapp.
