The authors speculate that the fusion of polar bodies in the RKK might be a preadaptation to automictic parthenogenesis through central fusion. |
If one changes between different function and effect it becomes meaningless to claim that the former was a preadaptation to the latter. |
Also they saw this as a contribution to the solution of the problem of preadaptation. |
Another helpful preadaptation is a snippet of DNA that enhances the activity of the genes that drive the formation of limbs in the embryo. |
The model could be extended to cover factors such as the level of preadaptation by studying their effect on the parameter. |
