Genetic Variation and Random Drift in Autotetraploid Populations

The rate of decay of genetic variation is determined for randomly mating autotetraploid populations of finite size, and the equilibrium homozygosity under mutation and random drift is calculated. It is shown that heterozygosity is lost at a slower rate than in diploid populations, and that the equil...
