Abstract

For a locus with two alleles (IA and IB), the frequencies of the alleles are represented by

p=f(IA)=2NAA+NAB2N, q=f(IB)=2NBB+NAB2N

where NAA, NAB and NBB are the numbers of IAIA, IAIB and IBIB respectively and N is the total number of populations. The frequencies of the genotypes expected are calculated by using p2, 2pq and q2. So in this paper, we consider the method of whether some genotypes is in Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium. Also we calculate the probability generating function for the offspring number of genotype produced by a mating of the ith male and jth female under a diploid model of N population with N1 males and N2 females. Finally, we have conditional joint probability generating function of genotype frequencies.
