Abstract: We have presented elsewhere a model for computer simulation of a colony of individuals reproducing sexually, by meiotic parthenogenesis and by cloning. Our algorithm takes into account food and space restriction, and attacks of some diseases. Each individual is characterized by a string ofL"base" units, each of which can be of four types (quaternary model) or two types (binary model). Our previous report was for the case ofL = 12(quaternary model) andL = 24(binary model) and contained the result that the fluctuation of population was the lowest for sexual reproduction with four types of base units. The present communication reports that the same conclusion also holds forL = 10(quaternary model) andL = 20(binary model), and forL = 8(quaternary model) andL = 16(binary model). This model however, suffers from the drawback that it does not show the effect of aging. A modification of the model was attempted to remove this drawback, but the results were not encouraging.
