Figure 5. Stochastic simulations confirm the contrasted architecture of the load of deleterious mutations linked to dominant vs. recessive S-alleles.

Number of fixed (A), segregating (B), and total (C) deleterious mutations linked to S-alleles at four different levels of dominance (I<II < III<IV). The means (bold lines) were estimated per S-allele dominance classes over 100 replicate simulations after discarding an initial burn-in of 100,000 generations. h = 0. s = 0.01.
