QUESTION 43 Recall that if there are N individuals in a population of a diploid species, then there are 2N gene copies for each locus. What is the frequency of a new mutation in a population that is composed of 25 individuals? Assuming that this allele does not alter fitness, what is the probability that this new neutral mutation will ultimately rise to fixation? It the same mutation is found a thousand generations later to be at a frequency of 95%, what will be the pobability that this now-common neutral mutation will ultimately rise all the way to fixation, from the thousandth generation onward?
