The fitness effect of anindividuallocusnow requires specification of the number of mutant alleles present (0, 1 or 2).
From theCambridge English Corpus
We assume that the contribution of anyindividuallocusto the mean or variance of the variance is small, and hence assume s2 2 equals the phenotypic variance.
From theCambridge English Corpus

As formulated in this way, there is no reference to the fate of mutant alleles at individual loci.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This was true even for the individual loci that were significantly differentiated between the species (fig. 4a,b).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Under these models, the amount of expressed genetic variance at equilibrium is dependent on the rate of loss of variation at individual loci.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Five of the individual loci showed significant population structure.
From theCambridge English Corpus
First, maize plant architecture may have evolved by selection for a gene complex rather than the additive effects of individual loci alone.
From theCambridge English Corpus
With random mating and linkage equilibrium among quantitative trait loci, the genetic variance is the sum of genetic variances at individual loci.
From theCambridge English Corpus
They can give evidence on the fitness effects associated with individual marker loci, and thus potentially reflect the effects of individual loci subject to selection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This enables allele frequencies and fixation events at individual loci to be followed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Entries are usefully crossreferenced to previous publications, with notes on the surviving documentation and finds from individual loci, and a discussion of their significance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the combined analysis of the multi-locus data set, individual loci were treated as separate partitions with different models of sequence evolution.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These coefficients represent the contributions of individual loci to the observed relationship.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Method to estimate genotype probabilities at individual loci in farm livestock.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is thus theoretically possible for the ratchet to advance without any fixation, or even noticeable increase in gene frequencies, of mutant alleles at individual loci.
From theCambridge English Corpus
An understanding of the temporal behaviour of the variation measures at individual loci is crucial to the assessment of the results obtained from the application of the neutral allele models.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Generalization into multilocus systems can only be made if individual loci show the same type of gene action and segregate with similar frequencies.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Fisher describes the theory of junctions as a ' strand theory ' rather than a ' point theory ', one that looks at the inheritance of whole tracts of chromosome rather than individual loci.
