I'd like to find out a way to predict how dominant a particular trait would be over the course of a particular number of generations. There will be only two traits going head to head, each with a particular probability of outcome.
Let's say the probability that Trait A will display as the phenotype of the population's offspring would be 50.1% (501 per 1000 births).
Let's say the probability that Trait B will display as the phenotype of the population's offspring would be 49.9% (499 per 1000 births).
The estimated total fertility rate is 2.36 children per woman.
I understand that many more variables would be needed for accurate figures, but I'm more interested in a general result to begin with.
Over the course of 8,000 generations of offspring and a constant fertility rate of 2.36, which percentage of the population would display the phenotype of Trait A or of Trait B?
(Note: I've tried binary logistic regression and even monohybrid crossing, but I seem to be screwing it up somehow.)
