As the amount of time that two populations are separated increases a.the F-statistic becomes irrelevant in quantifying population substructure b.the difference in allele frequencies should also increase until each population is completely fixed for separate alleles c.there is no influence on subsequent changes in allele frequencies in each population d.as the magnitude of genetic distance between them decreases e.selectively neutral loci always remain at identical frequencies in the two populations
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
