This study models the evolution of three alleles using the Kolmogorov forward diffusion equation, considering viability selection and genetic drift. Results offer insights into population genetics and allele frequency dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Population Genetics
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Mathematical Biology

Background:

  • Understanding allele frequency dynamics is crucial in evolutionary biology.
  • Population genetics models often incorporate factors like selection and genetic drift.
  • The behavior of multiple alleles at a single locus presents complex evolutionary challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the long-term evolution of three alleles at one locus.
  • To investigate the interplay between viability selection and random genetic drift.
  • To provide a mathematical framework for triallelic locus evolution.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Kolmogorov forward diffusion equation.
  • Employed separation of variables for solving the equation.
