Tóm tắt

Robertson, 1978, addressed the interesting problem of ascertaining the distribution of the time to detection of a recessive homozygote in a finite population. He was motivated in part by breeding and artificial selection practices. The same problem arises in the context of evolutionary processes and medical genetics since it refers to the time of first appearance as a homozygote of a new crossover event or a mutant gene.
