Although mutations that are detrimental to the fitness of organisms are expected to be rapidly purged from populations by natural selection, some disease-causing mutations are present at high frequencies in human populations. Several nonexclusive hypotheses have been proposed to account for this app

Cyclically parthenogenetic organisms experience benefits of both sexual and asexual reproductive modes in a constant environment. Sexual reproduction generates new genotypes and may facilitate the purging of deleterious mutations whereas asexuality has a two-fold advantage and enables maintenance of
