Effects of fertility selection, distortion and viability selection on population dynamics of the three genotypes. Population consists of single genotype at the vertices of a triangle in de Finetti diagram. A point in the interior corresponds to the population composition where all three of the genotypes potentially exist. Their relative abundance is proportional to the distance from the vertices. The black parabola curve represents Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The white open point represents the population composition of the fixed point. Colours exhibit speed of the dynamics inside de Finetti plots. The speed of the dynamics has been normalized for each plot and their absolute values are not directly comparable between diagrams. A Viability selection for Medea gene drive with drive efficiency \(d_{m} = 1\). B Fertility selection for the underdominance case where fertilities of the genotypes are \(f_{WW}=1\), \(f_{WD}=0.5\), \(f_{DD}=1\). An unstable point appears in the interior of de Finetti diagram and is denoted by a white circle at \((x_{WW}, x_{WD}, x_{DD}) = (0.25, 0.50, 0.25)\). C Distortion when drive heterozygous individuals contribute drive allele with 100% efficiency i.e., \(p = 1\)
