International Journal of Modern Physics C, 11(5), 973-986. doi:10.1142/S01291831000008210129-18311793-6586https://hdl.handle.net/11729/84http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S0129183100000821An 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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEvolutionRandom walksSelf-organized systemsArticle115973986Q2WOS:0001650656000092-s2.0-003436406710.1142/S0129183100000821Q3
