The conservation of redundancy in genetic systems: effects of sexual and asexual reproduction.

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between probability of survival and the number of deleterious mutations in the genome is investigated using three different models of highly redundant systems that interact with a threatening environment. Model one is a system that counters a potentially lethal infection; it has multiple identical components that act in sequence and in parallel. Model two has many different overlapping components...
