Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of the likelihood ratio test for the detection of a major gene in an F2 population. The model is a mixture of three normal distributions where the proportions are known. The information matrix is not positive definite, and therefore classical results cannot be used. An example concerning beans is given .
