Bisexual branching processes in a genetic context: the extinction problem for Y-linked genes.

Mathematical biosciences - 1 Aug 2006

González M, Hull D M, Martínez R, Mota M

Abstract excerpt

In this paper the inheritance of a Y-linked gene with alleles R and r in a population with both females and males is modelled using a two-type bisexual branching process. It is assumed that the reproductive distribution associated with the R allele can differ from the associated with the r allele and that females prefer to mate with a male having the R allele rather than with a male with the r allele. Under these...
