Genetic variation in organisms with sexual and asexual reproduction.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Mar 2003

Bengtsson B O

Abstract excerpt

The genetic variation in a partially asexual organism is investigated by two models suited for different time scales. Only selectively neutral variation is considered. Model 1 shows, by the use of a coalescence argument, that three sexually derived individuals per generation are sufficient to give a population the same pattern of allelic variation as found in fully sexually reproducing organisms. With less than...
