Birth, death, pair formation, and separation are described by a system of three nonlinear homogeneous ordinary differential equations. The qualitative properties of the system are investigated, in particular the conditions for existence and global stability of the bisexual state.
## Abstract We present a base‐pairing model of oligonucleotide duplex formation and show in detail its equivalence to the nearest‐neighbor dimer methods from fits to free energy of duplex formation data for short DNA–DNA and DNA–RNA hybrids containing only Watson–Crick pairs. For completeness, the
The model takes into account two main characteristics of ageing: (1) deterioration of adaptability of an organism to environment after maturity and (2) determination of life span of a species. The essential features of the model are that (a) differentiation, growth, maturity and senescence occur in
