Evolution is, in a sense, to resolve optimization problems. Our neo-Darwinian algorithm based on the mechanics of inheritance and natural selection uses double-stranded DNA-type genetic information "knap-sack problem." The with asymmetrical mutations due semiconservative replication most effectively resolved problem. results strongly suggest that disparity caused by asymmetric machinery DNA promotes evolution, particular diploid organisms high mutation rate, small population, under strong pressure.
