'Sex and crime' in evolution - why sexuality was so successful.

Genes & genetic systems - 1 Jan 2011

Schubert Ingo

Abstract excerpt

Components of sexuality have fore-runners already in prokaryotes, for instance conjugation, recombination- repair and the molecular constituents needed for nuclear division. For eukaryotes, the basic and predominant mode of propagation is via sexuality, although it is highly complex and costly. Many interactions between individual cells are detrimental for one partner and might be considered as a 'criminal' act...
