Genetics and the Origin of Species: From Darwin to Molecular ...
The hypotheses proposed to explain the polymorphism include those of maternal -fetal incompatibility, mating preference, overdominant selection, frequency- dependent selection due to minority advantage, and interlocus gene conversion.

Such an effect of associative overdominance must be taken into account not only for the neutral loci but also for the overdominant loci themselves. The apparent selective values at a locus, then, are the sum of its own selective values and the ...

By contrast, the genetic load created by an overdominant locus, which is often called segregation load, can be quite high. When the fitnesses of genotypes AlAl, AIAZ, and AZA2 are 1 — s, 1, and 1 — t, the genetic load is given by L: st/(s+t) ...
