Dysgenics

Dysgenics is the study of factors producing the pile-up and perpetuation of defective or disadvantageous body’s genes and traits in offspring of particular population or species. Dysgenic mutations happen to be studied in animals such as mouse and the particular fruit fly. The idea of dysgenics was first used as an antonym of eugenics—the interpersonal philosophy of enhancing human hereditary qualities by social plans and government input.
