Parthenogenesis doubles the rate of amino acid substitution in whiptail mitochondria.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2022

Maldonado Jose A, Firneno Thomas J, Hall Alexander S, Fujita Matthew K

Abstract excerpt

Sexual reproduction is ubiquitous in the natural world, suggesting that sex must have extensive benefits to overcome the cost of males compared to asexual reproduction. One hypothesized advantage of sex with strong theoretical support is that sex plays a role in removing deleterious mutations from the genome. Theory predicts that transitions to asexuality should lead to the suppression of recombination and...
