Table 3.

Allele frequencies in each subpopulation for maximizing F in terms of M. Using this arrangement, we can maximize F directly in terms of p_1I and p_2I. Exactly (I − 3)/2 columns have allele frequencies as in column 1, and another (I − 3)/2 columns have allele frequencies as in column (I + 1)/2.

	Allele
Subpopulation	1	…	(I − 1)/2	(I + 1)/2	…	I − 1	I
1	2M	…	$1-2M(\frac{I-3}{2})-p_{1I}$	0	…	0	p1I
2	0	…	0	2M	…	$1-2M(\frac{I-3}{2})-p_{2I}$	p2I
Mean	M	…	$[1-2M(\frac{I-3}{2})-p_{1I}]/2$	M	…	$[1-2M(\frac{I-3}{2})-p_{2I}]/2$	(p1I + p2I)/2
