Abstract excerpt
Several models have been suggested to explain the origin and maintenance of recombination. Here I present the results from computer simulations of multilocus haploid and diploid genotypes in small populations. Each chromosome consisted of 1001 loci where deleterious mutations occurred. At "equilibrium" for mutation-selection-genetic drift balance a single recombination variant was introduced to the population in...
