The additive genetic variance in selected and unselected populations was evaluated in six successive generations via Monte Carlo simulation. The aim was to build a data system to help researches compare genetic evaluation methodologies in Animal Breeding. By means of an additive genetic model, populations of 40 individuals (20 males and 20 females) were simulated, under selected and random mating system. From the generation zero until the fifth generation, the selected population showed reduction of 44.4% in additive genetic variance due to an increase of 11.58% in inbreeding coefficient. In the unselected population the reduction in additive genetic variance was lower (27.46%) in relation to the selected population, due to the increasing of 10.26% in inbreeding coefficient.
