Fig. 1 Logarithm of the characteristic time for the vanishing of the master strings from the population, $`\mathrm{ln}\tau `$, as a function of the probability of exact replication, $`Q`$, for $`a=2`$, and $`N=100`$ ($``$), $`200`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$), $`300`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$), $`500`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$), and $`600`$ ($`\times `$). The solid line is the theoretical prediction for $`N\mathrm{}`$.

Fig. 2 Logarithm of the characteristic time for the vanishing of the master strings from the population, $`\mathrm{ln}\tau `$, calculated at $`Q_c=1/a`$ as a function of the logarithm of the population size, $`\mathrm{ln}N`$, for $`a=2`$ ($``$), $`10`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$), and $`50`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$).

Fig. 3 Properly rescaled logarithm of the characteristic time for the vanishing of the master strings from the population, $`\mathrm{ln}\tau /\mathrm{ln}N^{1/2}`$, as a function of $`\left(QQ_c\right)N^{1/2}`$ for (from top to bottom at $`Q=Q_c`$) $`a=2`$, $`10`$ and $`50`$. The convention is $`N=200`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$), $`300`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$), $`400`$ ($``$), $`500`$ ($`\mathrm{}`$), and $`600`$ ($`\times `$). For $`a=10`$ and $`50`$ only the data for $`N400`$ are presented.
