Abstract:
:Fisher's model for the evolution of dominance indicates that the accumulation of dominance modifiers will be accelerated by (1) an increased frequency of the mutant heterozygote, (2) increased selection for the phenotype of the normal homozygote. The model has been criticised by Haldane on the grounds that point (1) is not fulfilled, that is dominance appears to be more common in populations with a low frequency of mutant heterozygotes (populations of inbreeders). In support of Fisher's model it is argued that intense selection for the wild type phenotype is more common in inbreeders than outbreeders. This situation should promote the accumulation of dominance modifiers (point (2) above).
