The distribution of expressed deleterious mutations and death rates for the models discussed in Bit-String Model for the Conversion to Sex

Model	Population	m = 0	m = 1	m = 2	m = 3	m = 4	Death rate
Pure haploid		1	10	36	53	0	0 (10−4)
Pure diploid		7	27	40	26	0	0 (10−5)
Diploid sexuals	Mitotic	7	27	40	26	0	0 (10−5)
Diploid sexuals	Episodic	7	27	40	26	0	0 (10−5)
Model A—nonhereditary*	Asex	1	11	37	51	0	0 (10−4)
Model A—nonhereditary*	Sex	11	33	36	20	0	0 (10−4)
Model A—hereditary*	Asex	1	11	36	52	0	0 (10−4)
Model A—hereditary*	Sex	10	50	40	0	0	0 (10−2)

The m distributions are percentages (±1%) computed over each type if coexisting; the death rates are per capita per generation.
