In effect, the mechanism of trait transmission it postulates consists of a random generator of genotypic variants that produce the corresponding random phenotypic variations, and an environmental filter that selects among the latter according to their relative fitness.
-
By the way, most of the sources of phenotypic (and genotypic) variation that provide the raw material for natural selection are clearly and unambiguously not random

HIV genotypic resistance testing ordered when treatment is initiated, changed, and when there is evidence of treatment failure.

There she coordinated the Drosophila genetics research and resumed her studies of phenotypic and genotypic structures of wild populations of Drosophila.
