From: The origin of a primordial genome through spontaneous symmetry breaking
The benefit of kinetic symmetry breaking. a. The probability of bottleneck-induced growth restoration (triangle, right coordinate), and the average number of cell divisions a protocell undergoes along a single line of descent (circles, left coordinate; error bars, s.d.), as a function of the degree of kinetic asymmetry (κ). See Methods section for the details of measurements (under ‘The measurement of the probability of growth restoration’). b. The empirical probability density of the minimum number of replicators in a protocell that successfully restored its growth
