[Evolution of the dominance of rec-loci. A mathematical model]
Abstract:
The possibility of evolutionary explanation of dominance relations for alleles in selective-neutral rec-loci was explored by means of numerical experiments. It was shown that selection for two-loci fitness system causing the secondary (induced) selection for the rec-system, results in changing the allele frequency of the second-level modificator gene controlling the dominance relations in the rec-locus. The dominance of rec-allele, providing the favourable for the given conditions level of crossing-over between selected fitness loci, is established, due to these changes. It was found that the neutral dominance modificator can influence the dynamics of the whole system.
