Abstract:
A multilocus method of estimating mating system parameters in populations is presented that recovers information from classification over multiple loci that single-locus estimators do not detect. It is shown that the multilocus estimator provides a standard of reference (null hypothesis) that can be useful in analyzing the effects of factors such as population heterogeneity and post-mating zygotic selection on the transmission of genetic information at the population level.

Chi-square Analysis
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...
Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
