Some Effects of Selection When There Is Partial Full-Sib Mating

RESUMO

If there is selection only for viability between zygote formation and adulthood, the frequency of a particular allele changes between these two stages of life. With complete random mating this is all that happens, but if there is a positive probability that full sibs mate, there is an extra change between adulthood and the appearance of zygotes in the next generation. This occurs because there are then correlated frequencies of the alleles carried by the mates. An expression for the change in the frequency of an allele, which incorporates these two effects, is derived, and the result is found to be consistent with earlier work by the author on the probability of survival of a rare allele in a large population. The result is inconsistent with the usual expression for the change in frequency of an allele when there is partial inbreeding because that expression does not incorporate the second change in frequency within one generation.
