Partition of Genetic Variance for Sub-Populations

The variance between and within backcrosses of two populations is partitioned on the base of (I) multinomially distributed numbers of effects of specific chromosomes taking (II) recombination into account and on the base of (III) normally distributed sums of gene effects. The method of estimation makes use of a specific structure of data with backcross parents taken from different generations of random mating reproduction of crosses between the two populations.
