Abstract

The review considers studies examining artificially maintained populations as models for understanding biological evolution. The key factors of gene pool evolution—random processes, interspecific hybridization, migration, mutation, and selection—are analyzed. We present evidence indicating that selection is the leading evolutionary factor that regulates the operation of other factors, directly or through genetic systems.
