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
General expressions are established for means, variances and covariances, taking into account the effect of interactions between individuals. For simplicity, only groups of size two are considered so that interactions are restricted to pairs of individuals; genetic effects are reduced to additivity
