Recent developments have related quantitative trait expression to metabolic flux. The present paper investigates some implications of this for statistical aspects of polygenic inheritance. Expressions are derived for the within-sibship genetic mean and genetic variance of metabolic flux given a pair of parental, diploid, n-locus genotypes. These are exact and hold for arbitrary numbers of gene loci, arbitrary allelic values at each locus, and for arbitrary recombination fractions between adjacent gene loci. The within-sibship, genetic variance is seen to be simply a measure of parental heterozygosity plus a measure of the degree of linkage coupling within the parental genotypes. Approximations are given for the within-sibship phenotypic mean and variance of metabolic flux. These results are applied to the problem of attaining adequate statistical power in a test of association between allozymic variation and inter-individual variation in metabolic flux. Simulations indicate that statistical power can be greatly increased by augmenting the data with predictions and observations on progeny statistics in relation to parental allozyme genotypes. Adequate power may thus be attainable at small sample sizes, and when allozymic variation is scored at a only small fraction of the total set of loci whose catalytic products determine the flux.
