[Evolution as resistance to entropy. II. A conservative role of the sexual reproduction].

Zhurnal obshchei biologii - 1 Jan 2000

Shcherbakov V P

Abstract excerpt

It is claimed that biological meaning of the sex and meiotic genetic recombination is a creation of a barrier for evolution. The transition to sexuality is not merely a change in reproduction mode but a leap to a new known as cohesion. In a sexual population, the lineages of different individuals become tangled into multidimensional net, resulting in a creation of gene pool and new superindividual...
