Abstract
In the preceding chapters it was always assumed that different genotypes possess the same vitality and the same fertility. The development, with several modes of reproduction, of the genotypic composition of populations was derived on the basis of this assumption. In the present chapter this assumption is no longer made: genotypes may differ with regard to vitality and/or fertility. The models describing the development of the genotypic composition will consequently gain in appropriateness, but lose in simplicity.
