A Computational Model of Evolution: Haploidy versus Diploidy

In this paper the study of diploidy is introduced like an important mechanism for memory reinforcement in arti cial environments where adaptation is very important For this study it has been simulated an ecosystem of birds The individuals of this ecosystem are able to geneti cally learn the best behaviour for survival Critical changes happening in the environmental conditions require the presence of diploidy to ensure the survival of species By means of new gene dominance con gurations a way to shield the individuals from erroneous selection is provided These two concepts appear like important elements for arti cial systems which have to evolve in environments with some degree of instability
