Comment on Game of chances: inheritance is a question of probability, not destiny

Comments

One thing I've been thinking about is that it would be cool if you had a group of animals that only mated with each other. They all have a lot of offspring, and there is a strong selection pressure. Gradually the population size is reduced. In the end all recessive diseases should disappear, and you should be left with a population of clones. Would they be fit, or are the heterozygote advantages for some genes too strong?
