which represents the population structure
Answers
Explanation:
By population structure, population geneticists mean that, instead of a single, simple population, populations are subdivided in some way. The overall "population of populations" is often called a metapopulation, while the individual component populations are often called, well ... subpopulations, but also local populations, or demes. In fact, in many real populations, there may not be any obvious individual populations or substructure at all, and the populations are continuous. However, even in effectively continuous populations, different areas can have different gene frequencies, because the whole metapopulation is not panmictic. For instance, among humans, Scotland, the North of England, and London have some quite major language differences, suggesting substructure, but you would be hard put to find an exact boundary where there is a changeover. Such populations are structured, but continuously, in space.
