Moreover, it has been found that chromosomal duplication may confer a selective advantage to S. cerevisiae under stress conditions by promoting genomic instability and mutation, and although it is a transient solution, the short - lived aneuploid intermediate may also serve as a capacitator of evolution [13], [14].
