Spanish term
evolución potencial
Spanish to English
Science
Genetics
Context is: "Si al cambiar un rasgo cambiaran todos, no habría ninguna estabilidad de los caracteres, lo cual no es el caso. Por tanto, si la dificultad de la llamada evolución potencial solamente se puede resolver con la información interna (no sólo por reproducción), hay que preguntarse a cuántas o a cuáles unidades informáticas se envía la modificación."
The text is a philosophical monograph that enters into the philosophy of biology. I see via Google that there is a pair of terms, "genetic potential" and "evolutionary potential", but I am unsure whether these are appropriate translations for the term in question.
