Summary Response to individual selection under random mating and under selfing in the progeny of a cross of homozygous parents is studied by means of computer simulation. The effects of environmental variation, the number of loci involved and the degree of linkage are described. The results predict that the short term effect of intermating is negligable in general. In the long run, random mating is superior to selfing, expecially when many loci are involved.
