Derivation
of
the Incomplete Dominance case of the General Selection Model
Given:
genotype:
AA AB
BB
phenotype: W0
W1
W2
or
1-s1
1
1-s2
Recall from the numerator of the General
Selection Equation that
q
[(q)(W2 - W1) + (p)(W1 - W0)]
So, to find q at equilibrium ()
(read as, "q hat") where q
= 0
set 0 = [(q)(1 - s2
- 1) + (p)(1 - 1 + s1)]
=
-s2q + s1p
=
s1(1 - q) - s2q
=
s1 - s1q - s2q
Then s1 = s1q + s2q
=
(q)(s1 + s2)
and
= (s1)/(s1 + s2)
Optional homework:
re-derive the above for "p" at equilibrium
