...exists. He was examining a species of female pond dwellers, which live without sex and have no males, sperm or fertilization among their species. Since the species reproduces asexually, a daughter should inherit all her mother's genes. But Meselson found that the offspring differed from their parent genetically, and developed the idea of a silent mutation, a change in genes that has no effect on an organism. Thus, Meselson's findings cast doubt on the prevalent assumption that sex is essential to evolution. "There is no general agreement on why sex exists," he said. "It's a big mystery...
