POPULATION GENETICS THEORY

提出了理论群体遗传学研究的两个领域。的 首先涉及多位点群体遗传学的一些方面。 其中包括阐明了遗传修饰剂的性质， 重组在大型和小型人口和各种 自然选择机制。适合度的人口后果 顺式和反式构型的基因型之间的差异将是 研究了一般重组方案的一种新表示将 可应用于研究数量相关变量之间的协方差 性格第二个领域涉及的性状，其传播是 基因和文化。不同选择制度的后果， 传播模式的分布，这些特点内 将对人口进行研究。亲属之间的协方差将是 在传播受相互作用的基因影响的情况下计算。 一种重要的文化传播特性， 对一种性别的影响，将研究人口中的初级性别比例。

Two areas of theoretical population genetic research are proposed. The first concerns a number of aspects of multilocus population genetics. Among these are the elucidation of the properties of genetic modifiers of recombination in large and small populations and under a variety of natural selection regimes. The population consequences of fitness differences between genotypes in cis and trans configurations will be investigated. A new representation of general recombination schemes will be applied to the study of covariances between relatives of a quantitative character. The second area concerns traits whose transmission is both genetic and cultural. The consequences of different selection regimes and transmission patterns for the distribution of such traits within populations will be studied. Covariances between relatives will be computed in cases where transmission is influenced by interacting genes. The effect of an important culturally transmitted trait, infanticide against one sex, on the primary sex ratio in a population will be studied.
