Abstract

Here we give basic properties of dibaric algebras which are motivated by genetic models. Dibaric algebras are not associative and they have a non trivial homomorphism onto the sex differentiation algebra. We define first join of dibaric algebras next indecomposable dibaric algebras. Finally, we prove the uniqueness of the decomposition of a dibaric algebra, with semiprincipal idempotent, as the join of indecomposable dibaric algebras.
