Diploid versus Haploid Organisms
arXiv:cond-mat/0107269 · doi:10.1142/S0129183101002322
Abstract
Using a bit string model, we show that asexual reproduction for diploids is more efficient than for haploids: it improves genetic material producing new individuals with less deleterious mutations. We also see that in a system where competition is present, diploids dominate, even though we consider some dominant loci.
