Predicted and simulated values from Villanueva et al. [4] for idealized marker sets and from Vandeputte et al. [6] for real marker sets; simulated values were obtained for 800 offspring per cross in [4] and 1000 offspring per cross in 100 independent parent samples in [6]; both used *formula (2) to calculate predicted values, which were compared to the values obtained with **formula (7) described here; afor real loci, average number of alleles per locus.
