Abstract
The paper deals with a model of the genetic process of recombination, one of the basis mechanisms of generating genetic variability. Mathematically, the model can be represented by the so‐called random evolution of Griego and Hersch, in which a random switching process selects from among several possible modes of operation of a dynamical system. The model, introduced by Polanska and Kimmel, involves mutations in the form of a time‐continuous Markov chain and genetic drift. We demonstrate asymptotic properties of the model under different demographic scenarios for the population in which the process evolves. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
