POPULATION STRUCTURE IN THE PENNA MODEL

Abstract

Numerical simulations of growing population, based on the Penna model, are presented. We consider biological ageing as a result of the accumulation of mutations in the genotype. We present an example of simulated population structure and compare it with that of a real population. We also discuss the role of bad mutations threshold parameter T in the Penna model, to reproduce a smooth transition from the oversimplified logistic model (T →∞) to the Penna model.

Keywords:

biological ageing, Penna model, bit-string model, population structure
