The fixation number of deleterious mutations <i>N</i>_<i>D</i><i>vs</i>. genetic map length per chromosome <i>L</i>.

<p>The fixation number of deleterious mutations as a function of genetic map length per chromosome <i>L</i>. The deleterious mutations with dominance coefficient <i>h</i> < 0.5 (<i>h</i> = 0.2, <i>h</i> = 0.3, <i>h</i> = 0.4). Other parameters are the same in all cases: the population size <i>N</i> = 10,000, the deleterious mutation rate <i>U</i>_<i>D</i> = 0.2 and the strength of selection <i>s</i>_<i>D</i> = 0.05.
