A general concept of phenotypical structure over a genotypical structure is developed. The direct decompositions of multilocus phenotypical structures are considered. Some aspects of phenotypical heredity are described in terms of graph theory. The acyclic phenotypical structures are introduced and studied on this base. The evolutionary equations are adjusted to the phenotypical selection. It is proved that if a phenotypical structure is acyclic then the set of fixed points of the corresponding evolutionary operator is finite except for a proper algebraic subset of the operator space. Some applications of this theorem are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
