Efecto de una mortalidad diferenciada por rasgos fenotípicos sobre la distribución genotípica: un modelo impulsivo para el caso mendeliano.

Abstract

A diploid, closed, panmictic population that supports a Malthusian growth model is compartmentalized according to its genotype, for a specific locus, into three subpopulations: two homozygous and one heterozygous. Under the assumption that the population is extracted by alternating constant closure times with comparatively shorter capture instants, the genotype frequencies of each subpopulation are impulsively modeled, assuming that each genotype expresses a phenotypic characteristic that differentiates the mortality rates per capture. From this model, results are obtained regarding the long-term genotypic distribution.
