The dynamics of the interaction between genetic and cultural transmission are studied by using a simple two-phenotype diallelic haploid genetic system. The value of an individual's phenotype is determined by cultural transmission from its parent or by a randomly chosen member of the parental population. In the absence of phenotypic selection, polymorphic equilibria of the gene and trait frequencies are obtained. The correlation between genotype and phenotype within or between populations depends on a quantity formally similar to linkage disequilibrium and is determined by a relationship among transmission coefficients analogous to a coefficient of epistasis. With natural selection on the phenotype and no mutation, only degenerate transmission rules allow polymorphic equilibria to be attained, and, in general, the genotype allowing the strongest transmission of the favored phenotype is successful.
通过使用一个简单的双表型双等位基因单倍体遗传系统来研究遗传和文化传播之间相互作用的动态过程。个体表型的值由其亲本的文化传播或亲本群体中随机选择的成员决定。在没有表型选择的情况下，可获得基因和性状频率的多态平衡。群体内部或群体之间基因型与表型的相关性取决于一个形式上类似于连锁不平衡的量，并由类似于上位性系数的传递系数之间的关系决定。在对表型进行自然选择且无突变的情况下，只有退化的传递规则才能实现多态平衡，并且一般来说，允许最有利表型最强传递的基因型会成功。
