Figure 3.—

(A) Mean frequency, p, of a deleterious allele under multiplicative selection (s = 0.05, ) in sexual (solid line) and asexual (dashed line) populations. The circles (solid for sexuals, open for asexuals) represent simulation results, and in each pair of horizontally adjacent circles, N_asex = 2N_sex. Mutation parameters: u = 10⁻⁵, v = 10⁻⁷. (B) Simulation results showing the mean intralocus association as a function of , in asexual populations (same parameter values as in A). For comparison, at , at a neutral locus with the same mutation parameters is −0.005 in asexuals and in sexuals.
