Recall that if there are N individuals in a population of adiploid species, then there are 2N gene copies for eachlocus. What is the frequency of a new mutation in a populationthat is composed of 25 individuals?
Assuming that this allele does not alter fitness, what isthe probability that this new neutral mutation will ultimately riseto fixation?
It the same mutation is found a thousand generations later to beat a frequency of 95%, what will be the pobability thatthis now-common neutral mutation will ultimately rise all the wayto fixation, from the thousandth generation onward?
