Theory that genetic diversity is the adaptive advantage of sex
On the other view, stress is a signal to
the cell that it is experiencing a change in the environment to a more
adverse condition. Under this new condition, it may be beneficial to produce progeny
that differ from the parent in their genetic make up. Among these
varied progeny, some may be more adapted to the changed condition than
their parents. Meiosis generates genetic variation in the diploid cell,
in part by the exchange of genetic information between the pairs of
chromosomes after they align (recombination). Thus, on this view, the advantage
of meiosis is that it facilitates the generation of genomic diversity
among progeny, allowing adaptation to adverse changes in the
environment.
However, as also pointed out by Otto and Gerstein, in the presence of a fairly stable environment, individuals surviving to reproductive age have genomes that function well in their current environment. They raise the question of why such individuals should risk shuffling their genes with those of another individual, as occurs during meiotic recombination? Considerations such as this have led many investigators to question whether genetic diversity is the adaptive advantage of sex.

I am so happy, i never believe i will be this happy again in life, I was working as an air-hoster ( cabby crew ) for 3years but early this year, i loose my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV), I never felt sick or have any symptom, till all workers were ask to bring their doctors report, that was how i got tested and i found out that am HSV positive that make me loose my job, because it was consider as an STD and is incurable disease, i was so depress was thinking of committing suicide, till i explain to a friend of mine, who always said to me a problem share is a problem solved, that was how she directed me to Dr Isibor, that was how i contacted him and get the medication from this doctor and i got cured for real, I just went back to my work and they also carry out the test to be real sure and i was negative. Please contact this doctor if you are herpes positive diseases his email is: drisiborspellhome@gmail.com. or you can call or whatsApp his mobile number +2348107855231.
