Code fate versus time. Mean fractions of 1000 total codes are plotted versus passages (time). Kinetics for several fates are shown: donors—codes that successfully fused/annihilations—codes lost in incompatible fusions/no fusion—unfused codes/lost—donors lost in fusion. Pmut = 0.00975, Pdecay = 0.00975, Pinit = 0.150, Prand = 0.050, Pfus = 0.00200, Ptab = 0.08.
