2) Of 102 candidate sex genes described in Baron et al [ 28] we investigated 15 genes (based on differences observed in Baron et al's study, and their known importance in the sex process in other vertebrates [ 28]).
This is because eukaryotes counteract Muller's ratchet using meiosis and sex (process that generate reciprocal recombination), while prokaryotes rely on mechanisms of LGT — transformation, conjugation and transduction — processes that spread genes unidirectionally from donors to recipients.
