  The change in allele frequency at the modifier locus during diploid selection is given by Recombination.
  These results demonstrate the existence of a class of modifiers of gene expression whose effects are associated with transient changes in DNA methylation of specific loci.
  This was explained by the action of rare alleles of autosomal modifiers that can influence or override the sex chromosome genes.
  This shows that the modifier gene did not affect Compact trait expression in the female.
