Nature Education 1 1 . ref or purifying selection is the selective removal of alleles that are Mutation Harmful mutations deleterious . This can result in stabilizing selection through the purging of deleterious variations that arise. Purging of deleterious alleles can be achieved on the population genetics level, with as little as a single point mutation being the unit of selection. In such a case, carriers of the harmful point mutation have fewer offspring each generation, reducing the frequency of the mutation in the gene pool. In the case of strong negativeselection on a locus, the purging of deleterious variants will result in the occasional removal of genetic linkage linked variation, producing a decrease in the level of variation surrounding the locus under selection. The accidental purging of non deleterious alleles due to such spatial proximity to deleterious alleles is called background selection . ref Brian Charlesworth Charlesworth, B. , Morgan, M.

Other uses Negativeselection disambiguation Refimprove date July 2007 Merge Tall poppy syndrome date June 2010 Negativeselection is a political process that occurs especially in rigid hierarchy hierarchies , most notably dictatorship s, but also to lesser degrees in such settings as corporations or electoral politics. The person on the top of the hierarchy, wishing to remain in power forever, chooses his associates with the prime criterion of incompetence &ndash they must not be competent enough to remove him from power. Since subordinates often mimic their leader, these associates do the same with those below them in the hierarchy, and the hierarchy is progressively filled with more and more incompetent people. If the dictator sees that he is threatened nonetheless, he will remove those that threaten him from their positions &ndash purge the hierarchy. Emptied positions in the hierarchy are normally filled with people from below &ndash those who were less competent than their previous masters. So, over the course of time, the hierarchy becomes less and less effective. Once the dictator dies &mdash or is removed by some external influence &mdash what remains is a grossly ineffective hierarchy.

DISPLAYTITLE NaturalSelection manuscript NaturalSelection is a manuscript written by Charles Darwin , in which he presented his theory of naturalselection and its role in biological evolution . He did not publish the work while he was alive, but wrote an abstract, titled On the Origin of Species by Means of NaturalSelection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life , which he published in 1859 . Darwin regarded NaturalSelection as his main work, while On the Origin of Species was written for a wider audience. He always intended to finish NaturalSelection , but because of frail health, the publicity and work involved in publishing six editions of On the Origin of Species , plus other research and publications, he never got around to finish it. NaturalSelection was transcribed after Darwin s death, and first published in 1975.

evolutionary biology In population genetics , the selection coefficient is a measure of the relative Fitness biology fitness of a phenotype . Usually denoted by the letter s , it compares the fitness of a phenotype to another favored phenotype, and is the proportional amount that the considered phenotype is less fit as measured by fertile progeny. s 0 then is selectively neutral compared to the favored phenotype, while s 1 indicates complete lethality. For example, if the favored phenotype produces 100 fertile progeny, and only 90 are produced by the phenotype selected against then s 0.1. An alternative way of expressing this is to describe the fitness of the favored phenotype as 1.0 and that of the phenotype selected against as 0.9. ref Carroll, Robert L Patterns and Processes of Vertebrate Evolution , p.182.

In stabilizing selection the frequency of the alleles of lower fitness decreases until they vanish. Balancing selection is similar but not identical to disruptive selection where individuals ...
