Extract

This paper treats the well known model of sib mating of individuals with autosomal genes; a single locus is studied. The general derivations are valid for any number of alleles. At the end of the paper, some simple examples are included; here several familiar results concerning models for two alleles are obtained as special cases of the general theory.
