It has recently been suggested that the fundamental haploid-diploid cycle of eukaryotic sex
exploits a rudimentary form of the Baldwin effect. Thereafter the other associated
phenomena can be explained as evolution tuning the amount and frequency of learning
experienced by an organism. Using the well-known NK model of fitness landscapes it is
here shown that the emergence of dominance can also be explained under this view of
eukaryotic evolution.
