Resumen:
We investigate the origin of the colour-magnitude relation (CMR) observed in cluster galaxies by using a combination of a cosmological N-body simulation of acluster of galaxies and a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation.The departure of  galaxies in the bright end of the CMR with respect to the trend denoted byless luminous galaxies could be explained by the influence of minor and major dry mergers.
