Abstract
In a previous paper we demonstrated how the number of possible genotypic as signments consistent with the rules of Mendelian genetics and with any know n phenotypes could be calculated for an arbitrary genealogy. Here, we prese nt further results for several regular genealogies constructed according to some specified recursive formulae and for which the growth of the genotypi c statespace, with increasing genealogical size, can be described by a line ar system.
