Abstract

WHILE the theory of the genetic changes in a population due to selection is quite well understood for single loci, our theory for multiple-gene characters is in a rudimentary stage. Most of the formulations for multiple-gene characters are simply extensions of single-locusmodels, extensions which ignore the problem of linkage. There are, however, a few papers in which the role of linkage has been 1956; LEWONTIN investigated for more or less special cases of selection (KIMURA 1962). The results of these investiga- and KOJIMA 1960; BODMER PARSONS and tions were sufficient to show that even for relatively simple cases (two loci, simple symmetric…(more)
