The analysis genetic heterogenity local human populations of Northeast Bosnia observed in two temporal periods regarding the some biochemical-physiological characteristics

Genetic heterogenity of two local human population from the area of northeast Bosnia (Bosanska Bijela and Memic'i) regarding of four the biochemical-physiological characteristic (ABO blood groups, PTC tasting, red and green colour vision) was studied. Special attention in this study was paid to the analysis of temporal changes in genetic structure of two local population. The analysed genetic data were collected by direct observation and survey of schoolchildren from two temporal periods (1974.75. and 2001./02. year). Data processing included: estimation of recessive phenotypes frequency for each observed characteristic by locality, analysis Wahlund, s variance analysis of the complex genetic distance, analysis of correlation of genetic distance and some possible factors of the genetic heterogeneity. Thirty years after the last analysis of genetic structure of these two populations regarding of four the biochemical-physiological characteristics, we found that the population of Bosanska Bijela retained higher genetic similarity in two temporal periods compared to the population of Memic'i and that the this two populations show a higher genetic similarity when compared to period 1974./75.
