[Dynamics of population genetics parameters and their statistical during assessment selection for quantitative...

The selection for a single additively inherited quantitative character is studied using computer models of 3 types: 1) all the individuals had the same viability, and the paratypic deviation does not depend on their genotype; 2) differential viability of genotypes is taken into account with respect to a number of heterozygous loci; 3) differential paratypic deviation is estimated, it is introduced like viability in the model 2. Two types of trancation selection, stabilizing and directed, under the selection coefficient of approximately 0.5 are studied. There are studied dynamics of genotypic (omega2gamma) and phenotypic (omega2phi) variances, the heritability index and it estimates (for the correlation progeny-parent--rho; for the regression progeny-parent--b; for half-sibses--v), and the non-equilibrium of a population for the models. The number of generation was 10; the population number in every generation was 200; the number of loci in the main experiment was 10.h2 values were calculated in the progeny before selection (p1, b1, v1) and after selection (p2, b2, v2). It is shown that stabilizing selection results in the formation of balanced gene complexes; the rate of decreasing omega2phi depends on the genetic length of a chromosome region in which genes, determining the character, are located, and not on the number of genes. The distribution of a character under directed selection depends on the type of the model. p2, b2, and v2 values are the worst. The best is the b1 value. It is concluded that the problem of predicting the selection effect using statistical estimates of heretability is connected with the problem of investigation of population heterogeneity and integrating their genetical structure.
