From: How environment and genetic architecture of unreduced gametes shape the establishment of autopolyploids

Fig. 2

Effect of pleiotropy scenario (none, all traits, unreduced gametes; number of pleiotropic loci = 80) on unreduced gamete production and its genetic variance, population fitness, and tetraploid frequency at the mutation-selection-drift equilibrium, simulated from a population of genetically identical diploid individuals under the mutation rate U = 0.005. Simulations were run for 100 replicates; black dots represent individual replicates. Pleiotropy on all traits means that pleiotropy affected both the quantitative trait under directional selection and unreduced gamete production. A Proportion of unreduced gamete production in diploid individuals; B variance of unreduced gamete production in diploid individuals; C population fitness; D frequency of tetraploids in the population.
