We present a model which describes mutation, selection and sexual reproduction in an infinite haploid population with a finite genome. Each generation is described using an approximation which assures a certain persistent form of the distribution of the number of deleterious elements. The steady state exists and is determined. In addition, we conclude that the introduction of sexual reproduction increases the...
