3. Modeling Selection Selection for a Dominant Allele Δp declines with each generation. BECAUSE: as q declines, a greater proportion of q alleles are present in heterozygotes (and invisible to selection). As q declines, q 2 declines more rapidly...
3. Modeling Selection Selection for a Dominant Allele Δp declines with each generation. So, in large populations, it is hard for selection to completely eliminate a deleterious allele....
3. Modeling Selection Selection for a Dominant Allele Δp declines with each generation. Rate of change depends on the strength of selection; the difference in reproductive success among genotypes. In this case, a new adaptive mutant allele has been produced in the population. The “selection differential”, s, is selection AGAINST the existing allele that had become ‘fixed’ in the population (f = 1.0) So, the “better” the new allele is (represented by the greater selective differential against the old allele), the faster the new mutant accumulates in the population.
3. Modeling Selection Selection for a Dominant Allele Selection for an allele where there is not complete dominance: - Consider incomplete dominance, codominance, or heterosis. In these situations, the heterozygote has a phenotype that differs from either of the homozygotes, and selection can favor one genotype over another: - Selection might favor one homozygote over the heterozygote and other homozygote (first example), or might favor the heterozygote over the homozygotes (second example), or might favor both homozygotes over the heterozygote (not considered here).
Selection for the homozygote of a ‘non-dominant’ allele (incomplete dominance, codominance, overdominance) p = 0.4, q = 0.6AAAaaa Parental "zygotes" = 1.00 prob. of survival (fitness) Relative Fitness Survival to Reproduction = 0.49 Geno. Freq., breeders = 1.00 Gene Freq's, gene poolp = 0.58q = 0.42 Genotypes, F = 100
Selection for the homozygote of a non-dominant allele - deleterious alleles can no longer hide in the heterozygote; its presence always causes a reduction in fitness, and so it can be eliminated from a population (if the heterozygote is less ‘fit’ than the AA).

The malarial parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) cannot complete development in red blood cells with this hemoglobin, because O 2 levels are too low in these cells. NNNSSS

Types of Selection - Selection acts on phenotypes, which may be single gene traits, polygenic quantitative traits, and/or effected by epistatic interactions. - The different effects are measured by changes in the mean phenotype over time.
