Sexual selection, redundancy and survival of the most beautiful.

Journal of biosciences - 1 Sept 2004

Morris R D, Morris J A

Abstract excerpt

A model is described of a highly redundant complex organism that has overlapping banks of genes such that each vital function is specified by several different genetic systems. This generates a synergistic profile linking probability of survival to the number of deleterious mutations in the genome. Computer models show that there is a dynamic interaction between the mean number of new deleterious mutations per...
