Fig. 2

Genomes of two randomly chosen cells from the 500-th generation of a 6-ploid population (parameters as in Fig. 1). Numbers represent f g s (note that the initial ‘quality’ of each gene f 0 equals 0.99); columns represent genes (the first 23 out of 100 genes are shown). For clarity, chromosomes are sorted based on their similarity to each other. Best alleles in each locus are shaded. Note that cells tend to possess two or three types of complementarily damaged chromosomes with different sets of (almost) intact genes; each chromosome type is represented by 1–3 copies
