Result |
1 |
W11 = W12 > W22 |
Directional selection against recessive allele A2 |
A1 increases, A2 decreases |
2 |
W11 = W12 < W22 |
Directional selection against dominant allele A1 |
A2 increases, A1 decreases |
3 |
W11 > W12 > W22 |
Directional selection against incompletely dominant allele A2 |
A1 increases, A2 decreases |
4 |
W11 < W12 < W22 |
Directional selection against incompletely dominant allele A1 |
A2 increases, A1 decreases |
5 |
W11 < W12 > W22 |
Overdominance |
Stable equilibrium, both alleles maintained |
6 |
W11 > W12 < W22 |
Underdominance |
Unstable equilibrium |
Note: W11, W12, and W22 represent the fitnesses of genotypes A1A1, A1A2, and A2A2, respectively. |
