In plants, however, there are some highly variable asexual populations.
This indicates that only our asexual planarian population is infected by PEVE.
The first such model targets the accumulation of mutations in asexual populations and is implemented in Simulator005.
The mutational meltdown in asexual populations.
This implies that an asexual population has an intrinsic capacity to grow more rapidly with each generation.
In an asexual population of hosts, offspring will only have the different parasitic resistance if a mutation arises.
In theory, the genetic load carried by asexual populations eventually becomes so great that the population goes extinct.
They found that the sexual and asexual populations adapted equally well to the new environment.
Experimentally, this idea has been tested in using digital simulations of asexual and sexual populations.
