The effective size of the parental population is 104. Predictions in the second column are made using deleterious mutation parameters λ = 0.4,
= 0.03, = 0.36, β = 1 from set I and predictions in the third column are made using deleterious mutation parameters λ = 0.03, = 0.15, = 0.36, β = 3 from set II. Lethal mutation parameters are ㎻ = 0.015 and = 0.03 in both predictions. -
