On the rate of genetic adaptation under natural selection

摘要: Abstract For a one locus n-allele genetic model of natural selection two theoretical predictions are obtained: first, that the non-equilibrium average fitness value, W(t) is always between equilibrium W∗, and W∗−H(p o , p∗) t until finally = W∗ and, secondly, area bounded by curve equal to H(p 0 ,p∗ ), entropy distance initial (p0) ( p∗ ) gene frequency distributions. The experimental observations corresponding these discussed.
