combineBeeGametes {SIMplyBee}

Create diploid gametes from a mated queen

Description

Level 1 function that produces diploid offspring from a mated queen. Queen is diploid, while drones are double haploids so we use AlphaSimR diploid functionality to make this cross, but since drones are double haploids we get the desired outcome. This is an utility function, and you most likely want to use the cross functions.

Usage

combineBeeGametes(queen, drones, nProgeny = 1, simParamBee = NULL)

Arguments

queen

Pop-class, with a single diploid individual

drones

Pop-class, with one or more diploid (double haploid) individual(s)

nProgeny

integer, number of progeny to create per cross

simParamBee

SimParamBee, global simulation parameters

Value

Pop-class with diploid individuals
