Frequencies of matings between males and females of each of the sixteen genotypes, where . While the model follows every genotype frequency in males and females independently, to aid in interpretation of the table, each column here represents the sum of all male genotype frequencies after natural selection having the same alleles at the T and C loci. Since these traits are sex-limited, these groups of genotypes function identically in mating. is the sum of all male genotype frequencies having the alleles T1C1 (T1C1P1R1, T1C1P1R2, T1C1P2R1 and T1C1P2R2). Similarly, represents the sum of all male genotype frequencies having the alleles T1C2, and so on. The frequency of the C2 allele within males, , is therefore equivalent to . The prime notation is a reminder that the genotype frequencies for males have already been adjusted by viability selection. Each row represents the sum of all female genotypes (unaffected by viability selection) that have the same alleles at the P and R loci. For example, y1is the sum of all female genotypes having the alleles P1R1 (T1C1P1R1, T1C2P1R1, T2C1P1R1 and T2C2P1R1).
