There is no possibility for genetic crossover if your starting population is homozygous clonal, aside from VERY rare mutations. They should be STARTING with clones and then this isn't an issue. If they are not, they should get out of the game.
Everything you said is true if the starting population is non-homozyous.
Had to read this twice, Pennies, to absorb what you said. I want to thank you and Jazz for providing all of this information regarding drifting and genetic crossover. Great information, and all great posts.
