Table 2. Estimated bounds on the proportion of highly heritable transcripts with a given inheritance pattern.

n	Min ≤ n loci	Min > n loci	Min n loci	Max n loci
1	0.03	0.97	0.03	0.03
2	0.05	0.83	0.02	0.15
3	0.07	0.71	0.01	0.25
4	0.09	0.60	0.01	0.33
5	0.11	0.49	0.03	0.42
6	0.13	0.42	0.05	0.47
7	0.15	0.35	0.04	0.52
8	0.17	0.30	0.08	0.56
9	0.18	0.26	0.06	0.58
10	0.20	0.22	0.07	0.61

The second through fifth columns represent, respectively, the minimum proportion of highly heritable transcripts that could be controlled by n or fewer additive loci of equal effect; the minimum proportion that could be controlled by more than n loci; the minimum proportion that could be controlled by exactly n loci; and the maximum proportion that could be controlled by exactly n loci. See Fig. 1 for an illustration of methods.
