Changes in genetic parameters of correlated traits due to the buildup of linkage (gametic phase) disequilibrium from repeated truncation selection on a single trait are studied. After several generations of selection, an equilibrium is approached where there are no further changes in genetic paramet

The genetic variance of a quantitative trait decreases under directional selection due to generation of linkage disequilibrium. After a few cycles of selection on individual phenotype, a limit is reached where there is no further reduction in the genetic variance. Bulmer's model is extended to an an
The adequacy of an expression for the withinfamily genetic variance under pure random drift in an additive infinitesimal model was tested via simulation in populations undergoing mass selection. Two hundred or one thousand unlinked loci with two alleles at initial frequencies of 1/2 were considered.
