The evolution of sex: A new hypothesis based on mitochondrial mutational erosion: Mitochondrial mutational erosion in ancestral eukaryotes would favour the evolution of sex, harnessing nuclear recombination to optimize compensatory nuclear coadaptation

The evolution of sex in eukaryotes represents a paradox, given the “two-fold” fitness cost it incurs. We hypothesize that the mutational dynamics of the mitochondrial genome would have favoured the evolution of sexual reproduction. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) exhibits a high mutation rate across most...
