I added links at the end of the post.

Each loci either does nothing (0 state) or it adds a fixed 
Gaussian-distributed random number to the overall IQ (1 state). They are 
initialized as 50% ones.

Crossover is done by selecting a random point in the (linear) genome and 
making everything before it the same as parent 1's genome, and 
everything after parent 2's genome.
