Abstract

The assumption of arbitrary and biologically implausible inheritance patterns in sexual diploid populations can yield population models in which convergence of a population's mean strategy to an evolutionarily stable strategy will not occur, even though this strategy is attainable with the correct choice of gametic frequencies. The present paper investigates the effect of imposing a simplifying and biologically reasonable restriction on the assumed inheritance patterns; namely, that dominance or underdominance occurs.
