 Mutational effects can be represented by models to describe how recombination through sexual reproduction can be advantageous.According to the mutational deterministic hypothesis, if the deleterious mutation rate is high, and if those mutations interact to cause a general decline in organismal fitness, then sexual reproduction provides an advantage over asexually reproducing organisms by allowing populations to eliminate the deleterious mutations not only more rapidly, but also most effectively.Recombination is one of the fundamental means that explain why many organisms have evolved to reproduce sexually.
