The General Selection Model (GSM) is a model of population genetics that describes how a population's allele frequencies will change when acted upon by natural selection. ==Equation== The General Selection Model applied to a single gene with two alleles (let's call them A1 and A2) is encapsulated by the equation: is the mean population relative fitness. In words: The product of the relative frequencies, , is a measure of the genetic variance. The quantity pq is maximized when there is an equal frequency of each gene, when . In the GSM, the rate of change is proportional to the genetic variation. The mean population fitness is a measure of the overall fitness of the population. In the GSM, the rate of change is inversely proportional to the mean fitness —i.e. when the population is maximally fit, no further change can occur. The remainder of the equation, , refers to the mean effect of an allele substitution. In essence, this term quantifies what effect genetic changes will have on fitness. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「General selection model」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
