Relationship of the effect of the simulated lethal allele on the breeding goals with the carrier frequency. Shown is the positive relationship of the frequency of carriers among the top 10% individuals at the end of the simulation (generation 20) with the additive effect of the lethal allele on (a) breeding goal 1 and (b) breeding goal 2, and (c) shows the top 10% carrier frequencies for breeding goal 1 and breeding goal 2 in each generation in simulations where the effect on breeding goal 1 was seven units and the effect on breeding goal 2 was zero, in line with our estimates from the SWB population. The dashed line in (a) and (b) indicates a genetic effect of zero
