Figure 5.
Effect of pre-equilibration of the population on normalized time (generations) to first appearance (vTf) versus number of loci λ required to be changed to yield the MR feature. N =1000; v =0.001; ρ=1. Each point is the average of 100 repetitions. The curve is determined from equation 3. Reproduction was deterministic. The simulation was pre-equilibrated (that is, the population was subject to mutation and reproduction without checking for the appearance of the multiresidue (MR) feature, regarding it as neutral) for filled circles, 0 generations; open circles, 0.1 / v generations; filled inverted triangles, 0.3 / v generations; open inverted triangles, 1 / v generations; filled squares, 3 / v generations.
