[Stabilizing selection in neonates for 2 weight-growth traits].

This study deals with the analysis of body weight and length augmentation in the group of newborns survived and died during the prenatal period. The effect of stabilizing selection for these characters was demonstrated. The analysis of dependence of the innate characters on the order number of pregnancy and parturition is accomplished. The advantages of the use of generalized characters of variability for revealing the stabilizing selection and of the possibility of using anthropometric characters of newborns in view of genetic monitoring are discussed.
