genetic selection

1) Differential and non-random reproduction of different genotypes, operating to alter the gene frequencies within a population.

2) The process of determining the relative share allotted individuals of different genotypes in the propagation of a population; the selective effect of a gene can be defined by the probability that carriers of the gene will reproduce.
