Yayın Strategies for the evolution of sex(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2001-12) Tüzel, Erkan; Sevim, Volkan; Erzan, AyşeThe maintenance of a macroscopic sexual population is addressed. As a scenario, the mechanism of random conversion to sex, in the presence of a constant rate of mutation is examined. This scenario is very closely related to "coevolution of cell senescence and diploid sexual reproduction in unicellular organisms." In this work, a "senescence clock" ticks off a finite lifetime for each bit string. Sexual reproduction resets the senescence of clock; unless this happens after a number of generations of cloning, the offspring stop dividing and die.Yayın Evolutionary route to diploidy and sex(National Academy of Sciences, 2001-11-20) Tüzel, Erkan; Sevim, Volkan; Erzan, AyşeBy using a bit-string model of evolution, we find a successful route to diploidy and sex in simple organisms. Allowing the sexually reproducing diploid individuals to also perform mitosis, as they do in a haploid-diploid cycle, leads to the complete takeover of the population by sexual diploids. This mechanism is so robust that even the accidental conversion and pairing of only two diploids give rise to a sexual population.Yayın Testing a hypothesis for the evolution of sex(World Scientific Publishing Company, 2000-07-11) Örçal, Bora; Tüzel, Erkan; Sevim, Volkan; Jan, Naeem; Erzan, AyşeAn asexual set of primitive bacteria is simulated with a lit-string Penna model with a Fermi function for survival. A recent hypothesis by Jan, Stauffer, and Moseley on the evolution of sex from asexual cells as a strategy for trying to escape the effects of deleterious mutations is checked. This strategy is found to provide a successful scenario for the evolution of a stable macroscopic sexual population.
