Abstract
Wright''s recent objection to the confusion between mutation pressure and the probable effect of mutation is sustained. Whether structural reduction is produced by the pleiotropic effect of genes being selected as a result of pressure on other characteristics or whether mutation pressure can also be a cause, the probable effect of the most likely mutations will be inactivation or reduction. It is suggested that this be called the Probable Mutation Effect.
