Abstract
The effect of introducing assortative mating in a human population in linkage equilibrium is considered. The introduction of assortative mating will disturb linkage equilibrium which will be re-established at another point independent of the recombination value r but depending upon additive variance and gene frequencies. When equilibrium is established Fisher''s model of assortative mating will also be applicable.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
