Changes in genetic values (a) and in average kinship (b), when trait B was added to selection goals. Scenario b3 and whole population are considered with the weight w _B of trait B increasing for computation of the total merit index. Black: w _B = 0 (scenario b1); brown: w _B = 0.5; red: w _B = 0.6; orange: w _B = 0.7; green: w _B = 0.8; light blue: w _B = 0.9; dark blue: w _B = 1; o: genetic value for trait A; ♦: genetic value for trait B; x: kinship Φ.
