Directionality of evolution at molecular and organismic levels.

Bio Systems - 1 Jan 1991

Livshits M A, Volkenstein M V

Abstract excerpt

The molecular evolution theories of Eigen and Kimura are compared and their difference is explained. In terms of Eigen's theory for the evolution of macromolecules, the selection of genotypes occurs directly. The physical meaning of the neutral theory is the degeneracy of the correlation between a phenotype and a genotype at the molecular level. A model theory of evolution on a fitness landscape is proposed. The...
