Scientific paper

We modify the Penna Model for biological aging, which is based on the
mutation-accumulation theory, in order to verify if there would be any
evolutionary advantage of triploid over diploid organisms. We show that this is
not the case, and that usual sex is always better than that involving three
individuals.
