The relationship between the pleitropic phenotypic effects of a mutation fixed by selection
Article Abstract:
Correlations between the effects of a new mutation and the distribution of mutational effects vary from leptokurtic to normally distributed is allowed to present the pleiotropic model of mutation. It is suggested that under most conditions the correlation between the effects of a fixed mutation is less than the correlation between the effects of a new mutation.

Sexual selection and the evolution of evolvability
Article Abstract:
Sexual selection has an effect on the rate of mutation is shown. It is observed that there is a twofold increase in the mutation rate as opposed to a decrease under random mating.
