  Muller's ratchet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In evolutionary genetics, Muller's ratchet (named after Hermann Joseph Muller) is the name given to the process by which the genomes of an asexual population accumulate deleterious mutations in an irreversible manner (hence the word ratchet), a process which the genomes of sexual populations can easily reverse thanks to recombination.
Muller's Ratchet turns faster in smaller populations and it is thought to set limits to the maximum size of asexual genomes and to the long-term evolutionary continuity of asexual lineages (but some asexual lineages are thought to be quite ancient: Bdelloid rotifers, e.g., appear to have been asexual for nearly 40 million years).
Note, furthermore, that a battery of additional population-genetic and ecological processes have been proposed to explain the success of sexual forms, and it is still unclear which one is truly crucial (see evolution of sex, the Red Queen hypothesis).

 Muller, Hermann Joseph
His studies of the processes and frequencies of mutations enabled Muller to form a picture of the arrangements and recombinations of genes and later led to his experimental induction of genetic mutations through the use of X rays in 1926.
Muller was a socialist, and he initially viewed the Soviet Union as a progressive, experimental society that could pursue important research in genetics and eugenics.
The award of the Nobel Prize to Muller in 1946 increased his opportunities to publicize one of his major concerns--the dangers posed by accumulating spontaneous mutations in the human gene pool as a result of industrial processes and radiation.
