Mutation rate dependence of the average fitness. The average fitness was computed for 100 individuals representing the last generation in the evolution of over 10,000 generations for the asexual (black circles), MR (blue triangles), and MO (green diamonds) modes. The noise amplitude \(\sigma\) was 0.0. For increasing mutation rates, error catastrophe occurs, which prevents the average fitness from rising through evolution over 10,000 generations. The recombination-only reference case is also plotted (orange triangles). The average over 50 samples is plotted. The error bar represents the SD over them
