中文简介:
对于性的进化及其持续流行有几种解释。一个是促进有用突变的传播,同时加速有害突变的去除。另一种是加快对病原体的抵抗力。与asex相比,性别确实有几个成本,例如只将一半的基因组给予后代,不得不寻找配偶,以及捕食和性病的风险。总的来说,这些好处超过了成本,性别对生命之树最近的大多数分支都有着坚定的作用。阅读作业:Stearns,Stephen C.和Rolf Hoekstra。进化:导言,第8章
课程简介: There are several explanations for the evolution of sex and its continued prevalence. One is facilitating the spread of helpful mutations while hastening the removal of harmful ones. Another is expediting resistance against pathogens. Sex does have several costs compared to asex, such as only giving half your genome to offspring, having to find mates, and the risk of predation and STDs. Overall, the benefits outweigh the costs and sex has a firm hold on the majority of the recent branches of the tree of life. Reading assignment: Stearns, Stephen C. and Rolf Hoekstra.
