Question

How do you calculate selection coefficient?

Answer 1

Selection coefficient:

1. A selection coefficient is a measurement of how much natural selection attempts to reduce the relative contribution of a particular genotype to the next generation.
2. It is calculated by subtracting the fitness value (w) from 1.0

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Selection}\mathrm{coefficient}\left(s\right)=1–\mathrm{Fitness}\mathrm{value}\left(w\right) \\ \Rightarrow s=1–w. \end{gathered}$$
