Abstract:We have simulated the evolution of age structured populations whose individuals represented by their diploid genomes were distributed on a square lattice. The environmental conditions on the whole territory changed simultaneously in the same way by switching on or off some requirements. Mutations accumulated in the genes dispensable during a given period of time were neutral, but they could cause a genetic death of individuals if the environment required their functions again. Populations survived due to retai… Show more
