Conditional probability of a genotype viable in environment 1 to be also viable in environment 2. The horizontal axis shows the number of reactions in a genotype, and the vertical axis shows the conditional probability P(2|1) that a genotype is viable in environment 2 given that it is viable in environment 1. The figure shows this conditional probability for all six ordered pairs for the three different environments, glucose, acetate and succinate.
