Abstract

A finite population of gametes is studied, classified according to the alleles present at k linked loci. A canonical method of following the joint probability distribution of the gametic types from generation to generation is developed. It is shown how the investigation of the rate of first fixation can be systematised. Explicit results are given for k = 2, and, although not so complete, for k = 3.
