Behavior of genetic (co)variance components in populations simulated from non-additive genetic models of dominance and overdominance Comportamento dos componentes de (co)variância genética em populações simuladas a partir de modelos genéticos não-aditivos de dominância e sobredominância

The aim of this work was to investigate the short-term behavior of the genetic variability of quantitative traits simulated from models with additive and non-additive gene action in control and phenotypic selection populations. Both traits, one with low (h² = 0.10) and the other with high (h² = 0.60...
