An analytical contrast between fitness maximization and selection for mixability.
It has been recently shown numerically that sex enables selection for alleles that perform well across different genetic contexts, i.e., selection for mixability. Here we capture this result analytically in a simple case. This serves a dual purpose. First, it provides a clear distinction between fitness maximization and selection for mixability. Second, it points out a limitation of the traditional analytical approach as applied to mixability.
