Fill in the blank.
When a new mutation occurs that increases the fitness of the carrier relative to other members of the population, natural selection will favor individuals that have a higher fitness. With time the newly mutated variant (allele) will increase in frequency relative to other alleles. As its prevalence increases, neutral and nearly neutral genetic variations linked to the new mutation will also become more prevalent. This phenomenon is called ________.
