Packet 2: Bonus 1

Applying this theory to the infinite sites model is used to derive the Watterson estimator. For 10 points each:
[10h] John Kingman formalized what retrospective model in population genetics, which traces alleles back to their most recent common ancestor?
ANSWER: coalescent theory
[10m] This parameter appears in the time to coalescence formula. This parameter represents the number of breeding individuals contributing to the next generation and is generally much smaller than the total population.
ANSWER: effective population size [or N sub e]
[10e] Backwards-time coalescent models are generated in part by this process, in which allele frequencies change randomly. The founder effect and population bottlenecks are a specific form of this process.
ANSWER: genetic drift [or allelic drift or the Wright effect]
