Abstract
A genetical population in which different genotypes have different viabilities will undergo, by selection, changes in its genetical constitution which can be expressed in a simple mathematical form. We here consider a system of m alleles A1, A2, …, Am segregating at one locus, and we assume that the genotype AiAj has viability aij, where aij = aji ≥ 0. We assume discrete, non-overlapping generations and random mating.Keywords
