Genetic drift and polygenic inheritance.
The interaction of random gene drift and selection was studied by computer simulation for two quantitative traits, which were considered to approximate stature and skin color dlfferences in human populations. The expected effects of gene drift, fixation of alleles and reduction of genotypic and phenotypic variances, were found in the simulation. Stabilizing selection, which seems to be the type...
متن کاملDifference Between Monogenic and Polygenic Inheritance
Inheritance is the process where genetic information is transferred from the parent to offspring. The information that is transferred is stored in genes, which are Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA)fragments that codes for specific proteins that are functional and could be transferred. Each gene consists of a pair of alleles that determine the character and as Mendelian Genetics suggests, these all...
متن کاملNon-stationary Function Optimization using Polygenic Inheritance
Non-stationary function optimization has proved to be a di cult subject for genetic algorithms (GAs). Standard haploid GAs nd it di cult to track a moving target and tend to converge to a local optimum that appears early in a run. We have surveyed a number of diploid GAs which use classic dominant recessive expressions, and outline some possible reasons why they have failed to gain wide accepta...
متن کاملLinkage analysis with an alternative formulation for the mixed model of inheritance: the finite polygenic mixed model.
This paper presents an extension of the finite polygenic mixed model of Fernando et al. (1994) to linkage analysis. The finite polygenic mixed model, extended for linkage analysis, leads to a likelihood that can be calculated using efficient algorithms developed for oligogenic models. For comparison, linkage analysis of 5 simulated 4021-member pedigrees was performed using the usual mixed model...
