Abstract

In this paper we study the effect of selection procedures on certain parameters of the distribution function (d.f.) (such as mean, percentile etc.) of a quantitative characteristic X, in successive generations when the d.f. is governed by a single locus. We study the changes in gene frequencies under the truncation and genotype selection procedures by obtaining approximations to the gene frequencies, since exact expressions are not available. Using these approximations for the gene frequencies, we compute the selection differentials of X for different values of n, the number of generations. We also obtain the limiting distributions as n → ∞ and compute the number of generations required for the above parameter(s) of the d.f. to reach a value close enough to the limiting value.

Sib pairs were selectively sampled for extreme concordance or discordance for the quantitative trait Q1, a simulated phenotype (GAW10). Two selective sampling criteria were used (SC1 and SC2), and results for these were compared to linkage analyses using all pairs (ALL). In total 773 sib pairs were

Nicotine taken by ad lib smoking or other routes of administration has been reported to shorten reaction time (RT) in many cognitive tasks. Most of these tasks have used visually presented stimuli and require a simple motor response such as a button press. The reliance on this type of RT task makes
