I have tried to calculate the relatedness for haplodiploid organisms, but cannot understand the calculations behind full sister and full brother.
(taken from Wikipedia: haplodiploidy
I have managed to solve the other cases. Since female will have ZZ:
female will share 1/2 of her genes with daughter
female will share 1/2 of her genes with son
female will share 1/2 of her genes with mother
female will share 1/2 of her genes with father
Since male will have only Z:
male will share 1 (100%) of his genes with his daughter
male won't share anything with his son (unfertilized eggs leads to male in haplodiploidy system)
male will share 1(100%) of his genes with his mother
male won't share anything with his father (unfertilized eggs leads to male in haplodiploidy system)
Even though I figured out how others work, I wasn't able to calculate r for fullsister fullbrother? How can it be 3/4,1/4,1/2,1/2?
Answer
This is a relative thing in haplodiploidy system.
r = Mother's side + father's side(in this case)
D--Daughter
S--Son
F-Father
M-Mother
Note:
You can get the below things from the question image itself.(All that you need to do is to read male and female appropriately as son,father,mother,daughter based on the context.So simple!)
1.rMD=1/2
2.rMS=1/2
3.rDM=1/2
4.rDF=1/2
5.rFD=1
6.rFS=0
7.rSM=1
8.rSF=0
case 1:
rDD=(rDM*rMD) + (rDF*rFD)
rDD=(1/2*1/2)+(1/2*1)
rDD=3/4 case 2:
rDS=(rDM*rMS) + (rSF*rFD)
rDS=(1/2*1/2)+0*1
rDS=1/4 case 3:
rSD=(rSM*rMD) + (rDF*rFS)
rSD=(1*1/2)+(1/2*0)
rSD=1/2 case 4:
rSS=(rSM*rMS) + (rSF*rFS)
rSS=(1*1/2)+(0*0)
rSS=1/2
