Multinomial-Sampling Models for Random Genetic Drift

RESUMO
Three different derivations of models with multinomial sampling of genotypes in a finite population are presented. The three derivations correspond to the operation of random drift through population regulation, conditioning on the total number of progeny, and culling, respectively. Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping; the diploid population mates at random. Each derivation applies to a single multiallelic locus in a monoecious or dioecious population; in the latter case, the locus may be autosomal or X-linked. Mutation and viability selection are arbitrary; there are no fertility differences. In a monoecious population, the model yields the Wright-Fisher model (i.e., multinomial sampling of genes) if and only if the viabilities are multiplicative. In a dioecious population, the analogous reduction does not occur even for pure random drift. Thus, multinomial sampling of genotypes generally does not lead to multinomial sampling of genes. Although the Wright-Fisher model probably lacks a sound biological basis and may be inaccurate for small populations, it is usually (perhaps always) a good approximation for genotypic multinomial sampling in large populations.
