A spontaneous change in the genetic sequence that reduces
fitness
as a consequence. Because most populations can be expected to be well-
adapted
to their environment, most mutations can be expected to be deleterious. Deleterious mutations are the bread and butter of many models in theoretical
population genetics
, providing a constant weight that must be overcome by such evolutionary mechanisms as
recombination
and
canalization
. See also
epistasis
and
Muller's ratchet
