Details

A meiosis matrix is a matrix where the number of rows is equal to the number of genotypes and the number of columns to the number of haplotypes. It is a matrix that allows to pass from parental genotypes to gametic haplotypes by meiosis. It is a probability matrix in that the sum of the values in each row is equal to 1. For a given genotype, the row associated with it describes the probabilistic proportions that lead by meiosis to the production of the other genotypes (and of itself if there are no mutations).
