More about the book
Exploring the controversy of senescence in clonal cultures, this book combines historical literature review with investigative analysis. It discusses the contradictory evidence surrounding protozoan aging and the rejuvenating role of sexual reproduction. Utilizing Hermann Muller's "ratchet model," the author quantitatively illustrates how genetic recombination through mating can mitigate harmful mutations in clonal populations. This insightful work is essential for researchers and students in genetics and cell biology, particularly those focused on senescence.
