Abstract
Equilibria are determined for the two-locus model in a partially selfing population when one locus is neutral and the other locus is heterotic. At an equilibrium point, the frequency of heterozygotes at the neutral locus is greater than that expected from one-locus theory, even if the heterotic locus is on a different chromosome. Thus, the neutral locus also appears to be heterotic. The magnitude of this effect is determined for several different proportions of selfing and amounts of recombination.Year: 1979 PMID: 17248920 PMCID: PMC1213951
