McDonald–Kreitman test

Target entity: McDonald–Kreitman test
Context triple: [neutral theory of population genetics, providesNullModelFor, McDonald–Kreitman test]

• A. Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibilities
  Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibilities are genetic conflicts between interacting genes that evolve in separate populations, causing reduced fitness or sterility in their hybrids and thereby contributing to reproductive isolation and speciation.
• B. Hill–Robertson interference
  Hill–Robertson interference is an evolutionary genetics concept describing how linkage between loci in finite populations reduces the efficiency of natural selection by causing beneficial and deleterious mutations to interfere with each other's fixation.
• C. nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution
  The nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution is an extension of neutral theory that posits most evolutionary changes at the molecular level are due to mutations with very slight deleterious or advantageous effects whose fate is strongly influenced by genetic drift and population size.
• D. Motoo Kimura's neutral theory of molecular evolution
  Motoo Kimura's neutral theory of molecular evolution is a foundational concept in evolutionary biology proposing that most genetic variation and molecular changes are selectively neutral and shaped primarily by random genetic drift rather than natural selection.
• E. Hardy–Weinberg principle
  The Hardy–Weinberg principle is a fundamental concept in population genetics that describes how allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in an idealized, non-evolving population.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: McDonald–Kreitman test
Target entity description: The McDonald–Kreitman test is a population genetics method that compares patterns of polymorphism and divergence at different classes of sites to detect deviations from neutrality and infer natural selection.
