It is an open question whether phenomena such as phenotypic robustness to mutation evolve as adaptations or are simply an inherent property of genetic systems. As a case study, we examine this question with regard to dominance in metabolic physiology. Traditionally the conclusion that has been derived from Metabolic Control Analysis has been that dominance is an inevitable property of multi-enzyme systems and...
