Frequency of fixation of adaptive mutations is higher in evolving diploid than haploid yeast populations

Adaptive mutations are shown to have a higher frequency of fixation in evolving diploid than in haploid populations of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, providing direct evidence that it may be an evolutionary advantage to be diploid.
