VARIATIONS IN POTENCY 



they do not reduce the whole art of breeding 

 to the production of new combinations of unit 

 characters through crossing. Selection is re- 

 quired also, not merely among different combi- 

 nations of unit-characters, but also among in- 

 dividuals representing the same combinations 

 selection is required of those possessing the 

 desired characters in greatest potency. The 

 further rdle of selection in evolution we shall 

 need to consider in a subsequent chapter.
