Frequency of the lethal recessive allele (LRA) in generations \({t}\) = 1, …, 10 under optimum-contribution selection using pedigree relationships (POCS, full line) or truncation selection (TRUN, dashed line) when the starting frequency of the LRA was 0.15, the LRA was linked, and no carriers were culled (blue squares), male carriers were culled (black diamonds), female carriers were culled (red circles), or all carriers were culled (grey triangles). Standard deviations of the means were in the range 0 to 0.0534
