Questions you should be able to answer from Matt Etterson’s Ecological Genetics lecture on 9/25.

• How is Hardy-Weinberg useful in assessing paternity in natural populations?
• How can you get a null allele with a microsattelite even though it is codominate marker?
• What are the consequences of getting a null allele in this case?
• What kind of paternity test has more power – inclusion or exclusion – and why?
• Give an example of an ecological question that can be answered with 1) inclusion, and 2) exclusion.
