July 15, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Passive smoking isn’t only something that people have to cope with, but plants too. This is because some plants are actually able to take up nicotine from cigarette smoke, while others that grow in contaminated soil absorb it via the roots as well. This might explain why high concentrations of nicotine are often found in […]

Populations survive despite many deleterious mutations: Evolutionary model of Muller’s ratchet explored

June 22, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

From protozoans to mammals, evolution has created more and more complex structures and better-adapted organisms. This is all the more astonishing as most genetic mutations are deleterious. Especially in small asexual populations that do not recombine their genes, unfavourable mutations can accumulate. This process is known as Muller’s ratchet in evolutionary biology. The ratchet, proposed […]
