This page lets you visualize the effects of variance due to environment and genotype on a population. You can set level of the phenotype for each possible genotype by sliding the flowers in the "phenotype" window. You can set the allele frequency for the A allele, and the level of variance due to the environment using the sliders to the right. Then click the "Create new population" button to see a population generated using these parameter values.
