    In describing the dynamics of a continuously reproducing diploid population, allele frequency and population density in two alleles at one locus are considered. By inserting three possible types of frequency dependence in the fitness functions, modified basic logistic growth models are analyzed and contrasted with the purely density-dependent situation. Periodic fluctuations in allele frequency and population density are illustrated, which would be impossible in the pure case.
