[Uncontrolled genetic processes in artificial populations: proving the leading role of selection in evolution].
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.
