Genotype selection - genotypes or instances? 

Dears,
in Standard-like expdefs, where Genotypes have more instances (popsiz), do the GenotypeLibrary functions like roulette(), revroulette(),
tournament() or worst() work on the instances or on genotypes? For instance do all genotype instances have their slots on the roulette wheel,
according to their fitness, or do only genotypes have slots? Similarly, during tournaments, unique genotypes compete, or instances
(possibly all from one genotype?)? Thank you, Matej Hoffmann

Sorry for the late reply... instances are copies of a genotype, so just
assume that a genotype has many copies. Roulette/tournament procedures
work correctly (i.e. just as if there were many copies of genotypes).
