[Selection and mutation from the theoretical information point of view--limits of the preservation of genetic information].

Abstract excerpt

There is no doubt that evolution can only operate in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics. To transform this simple perception into a statement that can be quantified it is necessary to examine how the entropy (or the information content) changes by means of the two main factors of evolution: selection and mutation.
