text: His neutral theory of molecular evolution proposes that most novel mutations will be highly deleterious, with a small fraction being neutral.
text: In nature, the mutations that arise may be beneficial or deleterious—this is the driving force of evolution.
text: Most mutations either have no effect, are deleterious, or are lethal; some provide survival benefits, which are passed on to progeny.
text: Thus, outcrossing, promoted by the necessity for union of opposite mating types, likely provides the benefit of masking recessive mutations that would otherwise be deleterious to sexual spore formation (see Complementation (genetics)).
