THE EFFECT OF LINKAGE ON THE MEAN VALUE OF INBREDS DERIVED FROM A RANDOM MATING POPULATION
I. M. R. van Aarde 1
1 Statistical Laboratory, Iowa State University, Ames Iowa 50010
An expression is derived which accounts for the effect of linkage on the mean value of diploid inbreds. The original population is taken to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. It is shown that linkage will accelerate inbreeding depression. The precise nature of the acceleration is worked out for some special cases.
