PopSim

Popsim simulates either a single infinite population or a number of populations with chance variation. The student starts by setting the level of selection (shown here as no selection):


the population size:


and the starting gene frequency:


The program then starts simulating and printing out gene numbers (part of output shown):


The student can see what the ouput looks like when graphed:


The simulation can be repeated with one or more parameters changed.  Here the population size has been increased from 50 to 5,000:


Gene flow, as well as mutation, can also be included.


The program comes with a number of pre-set exercises:


A set of Exercises and Questions is also provided.  This is an excerpt:
